FAQ

What is the switching output of the Wenglor I18H028?

This sensor features a PNP Normally Open (NO) switching output, which is a common sourcing output type used in industrial control systems, particularly with PLCs.

Can this sensor be used for detecting non-ferrous metals like aluminum?

Yes, but with a reduced sensing range. The I18H028 has a nominal switching distance of 8mm for steel. For aluminum, the correction factor is approximately 0.45, resulting in a sensing distance of about 3.6mm.

What does the ‘flush’ mounting specification mean for installation?

Flush mounting means the sensing face of the I18H028 can be installed level with the surrounding metal mounting surface without affecting its performance. This is ideal for applications where the sensor needs to be protected or embedded.
