Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E10243 is intended for cylindrical M18 sensor connections. Its internal M18 × 1 thread allows the cover to be mounted directly on the compatible interface. The threaded construction provides positive mechanical retention. PTFE offers useful chemical resistance in demanding industrial environments. The compact external diameter minimizes additional installation space. The cover provides an additional protective barrier around the sensor interface.
The cover is manufactured from PTFE. Its external diameter is approximately 22 mm. The internal thread is M18 × 1. The product weighs approximately 5.15 g. The lightweight design makes it suitable for sensor assemblies where component mass should be minimized. The cover is supplied individually.
The cover can help protect the sensor interface from contamination and mechanical contact. PTFE is suitable for applications requiring resistance to many chemicals. The screw-on design enables quick installation. It can also be removed when sensor servicing is required. Its compact construction supports machine installations with limited clearance. The accessory is intended for compatible M18 sensor systems.
