Ceyone M18 Inductive Proximity Sensor NPN NO+NC 8mm
Ceyone M18 NPN NO+NC Inductive Proximity Sensor - 8mm Detection Range
The Ceyone M18 proximity sensor is an NPN output inductive sensor with both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) switching. Designed for industrial automation, it detects metal objects at distances up to 8mm. Its rugged tube-type M18 threaded body allows easy mounting in panels or brackets.

Compatibility
This sensor operates on 10-30V DC and provides NPN sinking outputs, compatible with most PLCs, Arduino (with pull-up resistor), and industrial controllers. Ensure your input device accepts NPN signals. Commonly used with Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Mitsubishi PLCs.
Wiring Notes
Connect brown wire to positive supply (+V), blue to ground (0V), black (NO) and white (NC) to your controller inputs. NPN outputs sink current; your input must have a pull-up resistor to V+ (typically 10kΩ). Do not exceed the rated supply voltage.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, the NPN output can interface with Arduino digital inputs. Add a 10kΩ pull-up resistor from the input pin to 5V, and connect the sensor output (NO or NC) to the pin. Ensure the sensor supply voltage is 10-30V DC, separate from Arduino logic.
Can I use this to detect non-metal objects?
No, this is an inductive sensor and only detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals. For other materials, consider capacitive sensors.
What is the difference between NO and NC outputs?
Normally Open (NO) output is high (open) when no metal is present and goes low (sinking) when metal is detected. Normally Closed (NC) is the opposite: low when no metal, high when detected.
