CGY18‑D10NC – Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor (M18 Barrel, 10 cm Range, NPN-NC Output)

CGY18‑D10NC – Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor (M18 Barrel, 10 cm Range, NPN-NC Output)

GH₵500.00 GH₵700.00

The CGY18‑D10NC is a compact and durable diffuse-type photoelectric sensor designed for detecting objects at short distances—up to 10 cm—without requiring a reflector. Built into a standard M18 cylindrical threaded housing, it offers quick and easy installation on machinery or panel systems.

This version features a 3-wire NPN output in a Normally Closed (NC) configuration, which ensures that the signal stays active under normal operation and opens when an object is detected, supporting fail-safe detection strategies.


✅ Key Features

  • Sensing Method: Diffuse reflective – detects object directly

  • Sensing Range: Up to 10 cm (fine-tunable sensitivity)

  • Output Type: NPN, Normally Closed (NC)

  • Threaded Barrel: M18 design for simple mounting and alignment

  • Status Indicator: Red LED for detection output status

  • Switching Speed: Quick response time for fast-moving applications

  • Protection: Over-voltage, short-circuit, and reverse polarity protected

  • Durability: Built for continuous industrial operation
