Gavazzi Photo-Electric Proximity switch - PA18

Carlo Gavazzi is proud to announce a new generation of photoelectric sensors in the industry-standard M18 housing size. This next generation PA18 brings new features, longer sensing ranges, and new options - in a housing that is 40% smaller than previous generations!

In addition to being more compact, a new radial design option has an integrated mirror for right angle sensing, thus increasing the sensor’s application potential. Included with every sensor is a new snap mounting bracket that allows for flush mounting with a single jam nut. The new PA18 is also IP69K rated for high pressure/high temperature downs, with ECOLAB certification for food & beverage applications.

Some additional features of the new PA18 include: Diffuse sensing up to 1m Retro-reflective sensing up to 6.5m Polarized retro-reflective sensing up to 5m Through-beam sensing up to 20m All models have a potentiometer for easy adjustment of sensing range Two easily viewable LED indicators for signal quality and power and target detection Can withstand high temperature (80°C/176°F) and high pressure (1450 psi/100bar) cleaning Laser printing replaces labels…so key information stays intact even after cleaning Normally open and normally closed outputs in every sensor Supply voltage 10-30 VDC Connection options include 2m cable or M12 quick-disconnect plug

With the launch of the next generation PA18, we will be phasing out the older generation. A complete cross-reference from the older series to the newer types can be found by clicking the link at the bottom of this page.

The next-generation PA18 has been designed to solve more applications, in more industries, with more flexibility, more sensing range, and more options than ever before! In short, it gives you more ….for less! And with cULus and CE approvals, and ECOLAB certification, you can be confident that the PA18 is a high quality, safe, and durable sensor.
