Lanbao LR18X High-Temp M18 5/8mm Inductive Sensor Lanbao LR18X High Temperature Resistant Series is an M18 cylindrical inductive proximity sensor for non-contact metal detection in hot industrial environments, heated machinery, drying equipment, conveyors, process fixtures, and automated control systems. It keeps the threaded LR18X housing format while extending the operating temperature range for applications where standard sensors may be unsuitable. This listing covers LR18XBF05W and LR18XBN08W 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 silicone cable or E2 M12 connector wiring.
