Lanbao LR18XC-Y AC 8/12mm 2-Wire Inductive Sensor

Lanbao LR18XC-Y AC 8/12mm 2-Wire Inductive Sensor

Lanbao LR18XC-Y-AC 2-Wire Series is an M18 cylindrical AC inductive proximity sensor for non-contact metal detection in industrial automation, machine equipment, conveyor positioning, fixtures, and control systems. It provides 8mm quasi-flush and 12mm non-flush sensing options with a wide 20-250VAC supply range.

This listing covers LR18XCF08 and LR18XCN12 AC 2-wire variants with normally-open or normally-closed output logic. Cable-output and E2 M12 connector versions are available, allowing the sensor to match fixed wiring layouts or quick-disconnect maintenance requirements.

Integration Notes & Hardware Guidance

• AC two-wire wiring: Use the sensor with a compatible AC 2-wire input loop and confirm that the connected load can tolerate residual voltage and leakage current.
• Logic selection: Choose normally open or normally closed based on the required signal state when a metal target is detected.
• Sensing-distance selection: Use 8mm quasi-flush variants for tighter mounting conditions, or 12mm non-flush variants when additional sensing distance is needed.
• Mounting condition: Nearby metal, target size, and installation clearance can affect the actual switching point, especially for non-flush high-distance variants.
• 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 LR18XC-Y-AC sensor detect?

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

What sensing distances are available?

This series includes 8mm quasi-flush variants and 12mm non-flush variants. Select the version that matches your mounting condition and required detection distance.

What supply voltage does this series use?

The LR18XC-Y-AC series is designed for 20-250V AC systems. Confirm wiring, load type, and safety requirements before installation.

What is the difference between ATO and ATC variants?

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

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.
