Lanbao LR18X Low-Temp M18 5/8mm Inductive Sensor

Lanbao LR18X Low-Temp M18 5/8mm Inductive Sensor

Lanbao LR18X Low Temperature Resistant Series is an M18 cylindrical inductive proximity sensor for non-contact metal detection in cold industrial environments, refrigeration equipment, outdoor machinery, conveyors, and automated control systems. It keeps the threaded metal LR18X housing format while extending the operating temperature range for installations where standard sensors may be unsuitable.

This listing covers LR18XBF05W1 and LR18XBN08W1 DC variants with 5mm flush or 8mm non-flush rated sensing distance. Depending on the selected part number, the sensor is available with NPN or PNP output, normally-open or normally-closed logic, and either fixed cable or E2 M12 connector wiring.

For related Lanbao inductive sensors, compare the Lanbao LR12X Low-Temp Sensor, Lanbao LR30X Low-Temp Sensor, and Lanbao LR18X-DC 2-Wire Sensor. For extended-distance M12 options, see the Lanbao LR12XB-Y 3/4-Wire Sensor.

Integration Notes & Hardware Guidance

• Temperature range: Use this W1 low-temperature version when the installation requires operation below the standard LR18X temperature range.
• Sensing-distance selection: Choose 5mm flush variants for shielded installation or 8mm non-flush variants when additional sensing distance is needed.
• Output selection: Match NPN or PNP wiring to the input type of your PLC, controller, counter, or I/O module before ordering.
• Logic selection: Choose normally open or normally closed based on the required signal state when a metal target is detected.
• Connection choice: Select fixed-cable variants for direct wiring or E2 M12 connector variants when quick replacement and standardized connectors are preferred.

FAQ

What does the LR18X low-temperature sensor detect?

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

What operating temperature range does this version support?

This low-temperature resistant version is listed with an operating temperature reference of -40C to 70C.

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.

How do I choose between NPN and PNP?

Choose the output type required by your controller input. NPN and PNP wiring are not interchangeable unless the receiving device supports both input standards.

What is the difference between cable and E2 variants?

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