SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 x 1 PNP 30 V dc 200mA IMF18-12NPSNC0S

SICK IMF18-12NPSNC0S is a high-precision Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor designed for reliable metal detection in demanding industrial environments. Featuring a robust stainless steel housing and an M18 x 1 threaded barrel body style, this sensor reliably detects metal objects within a 12 mm range. Operating at a maximum supply voltage of 30 V dc and a switching current of 200mA, it supports high-speed switching frequencies up to 1 kHz, enabling accurate process automation.

The sensor is equipped with a 4-pin terminal and supports a non-flush mount type providing stable and secure installation. Its housing is resistant to harsh conditions with IP68 and IP69K ratings, allowing use in wet and washdown environments common in food and pharmaceutical industries. It functions across a broad temperature range from -40°C to 100°C, maintaining performance in extreme conditions.

Engineered with advanced SICK ASIC technology, the IMF Series offers extended and highly accurate sensing capabilities, reducing downtime and enhancing process reliability. The sensor includes an optical adjustment indicator to ease alignment and commissioning, and is IO-Link capable, allowing seamless integration with automation systems and flexible communication.

Its food-compatible stainless steel body and plastic sensing face ensure compatibility with hygienic environments, while the enclosure’s resistance to industrial cleaning agents and Ecolab certification validate its suitability for frequent cleaning cycles. The IMF18-12NPSNC0S also complies with ISO 20653:2013-03, EN 60947-5-2, and EN 60529 standards.

Typical applications include valve position determination and coupling bend position queries, with a modular concept supporting customer-specific variants. Manufactured in Hungary, this sensor is engineered to deliver dependable performance and extend the service life of automated equipment in industrial, food processing, and manufacturing sectors.
