Banner Engineering S18-2 18mm Plastic Barrel Sensors
Banner Engineering S18-2 18mm Plastic Barrel Sensors are photoelectric sensors for high-volume and cost-sensitive applications. These Banner 18mm barrel sensors feature a powerful and bright visible red emitter beam for easy alignment and setup. The S18-2 includes highly visible output and dual-function power and stability indicators. The series provides stable detection in the presence of fluorescent lights for non-through-beam applications. The sensors operate over a -40°C to +70°C temperature range. A robust 250° adjustment potentiometer is available on select models.
