E57G-18SNN5-C2 inductive proximity sensor
The Eaton E57G-18SNN5-C2 is a shielded cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with an 18 mm diameter housing. It detects metal targets at a maximum distance of 5 mm and provides a 3-wire NPN normally open output. The sensor operates on 10 to 30 V DC and is rated for a maximum load current of 100 mA. It suits industrial automation and machine monitoring tasks requiring reliable presence detection.
Check voltage and wiring before installation
Verify that your control system supplies 10 to 30 V DC and can accept a 3-wire NPN normally open signal. The unit connects via a 2 m pre-wired cable, so confirm the cable length and routing suit your mounting location. Ensure the 18 mm threaded barrel fits the available clearance and that the M18 mounting thread matches your fixture. The operating frequency is 1,200 Hz, so confirm the controller scan rate is compatible.
Stainless steel IP67 housing handles sustained
The stainless steel case carries NEMA 4X and IP67 ratings, protecting internal electronics during continuous exposure to water, coolant, or wash-down environments. Operating temperature spans -13 °F to 158 °F, allowing stable performance across extended shifts in harsh conditions. The 100 mA output rating remains consistent under continuous load without derating. The shielded design maintains consistent sensing range when flush-mounted in metal.

Questions about this item
What comes with the E57G-18SNN5-C2 sensor and what must be purchased separately?
The sensor is supplied with a 2 m cable and stainless steel housing; mounting hardware and any mating connector are not included.
How do I choose between the available output and voltage options for this model?
This part is fixed as a 3-wire NPN normally-open output operating on 10-30 V DC; no other output or voltage versions exist for this MPN.
What does the 5 mm sensing distance mean when the sensor is mounted on a real machine?
The 5 mm rated range applies to a standard mild-steel target; non-ferrous metals will reduce the effective distance.
