Lanbao LR18X-AC/DC 5/8mm 2-Wire Inductive Sensor

Lanbao LR18X-AC/DC 5/8mm 2-Wire Inductive Sensor

Lanbao LR18X-AC/DC 2-Wire Series is an M18 cylindrical inductive proximity sensor for non-contact metal detection in automation equipment, machine tools, conveyors, fixtures, and industrial control systems. The AC/DC 2-wire design supports a wide supply range, making it useful when the same sensor family needs to fit both AC and DC control environments.

This listing covers LR18XCF05 and LR18XCN08 AC/DC 2-wire variants with normally-open or normally-closed output logic. Cable-output and E2 M12 connector versions are available, allowing the sensor to support fixed wiring or quick-disconnect maintenance workflows.

Integration Notes & Hardware Guidance

• Input matching: Use this sensor with compatible AC/DC 2-wire input circuits and confirm voltage, residual voltage, leakage current, and load current limits before installation.
• Sensing-distance selection: Choose 5mm flush variants for shielded installation or 8mm non-flush variants when additional sensing distance is required.
• Logic selection: Choose SBO for normally-open output or SBC for normally-closed output according to the required signal state.
• Mounting condition: Keep the metal target within the assured operating range and leave suitable clearance around non-flush versions to avoid false switching.
• Connection choice: Select cable variants for fixed wiring or E2 M12 connector variants when quick replacement and standardized connectors are preferred.

FAQ

What does the LR18X-AC/DC 2-wire sensor detect?

It detects metal targets using inductive proximity sensing, without physical contact with the target.

What sensing distances are available?

This listing includes 5mm flush variants and 8mm non-flush variants. Select the version that matches your mounting condition and detection distance.

What is the difference between SBO and SBC?

SBO indicates normally-open output, while SBC indicates normally-closed output. Choose the logic that matches your controller signal requirement.

Can this sensor work with both AC and DC circuits?

Yes. This series supports 20-250V AC/DC, but the connected controller or load must still match the sensor’s residual voltage, leakage current, and load current requirements.

What is the difference between cable and E2 variants?

Cable variants use a fixed 2m PVC cable, while E2 variants use an M12 connector-style connection for easier replacement and standardized wiring.
