SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 x 1, Metal Housing, 30 V DC, 200 mA Output IME18-08BNSZW2K

SICK IME18-08BNSZW2K is a threaded barrel inductive proximity sensor with an M18 x 1 thread size, metal housing, and a flush mount type. It operates with a supply voltage of 30 V DC and supports a switching current up to 200 mA with an NPN output configuration. The sensor's compact dimensions of 18 mm width and 48 mm length allow integration into tight spaces in industrial automation systems.

This sensor is specially designed for metal detection with a maximum sensing distance of 8 mm, suitable for presence detection and positioning tasks in automation, control gear, and manufacturing environments. Its metal housing and IP67 enclosure rating ensure robust performance in harsh conditions, including dust and water exposure. The operating temperature range from -25°C to +75°C and shielded design contribute to its durability and accuracy.

The integrated ASIC chip enables digital adjustment of switching points after manufacturing, ensuring precise and repeatable detection performance. The sensor operates at a maximum switching frequency of 1 kHz, making it suitable for high-speed automation processes.

Applications include presence detection for car body parts, positioning of tool carriers, monitoring of packaging lines, height positioning in sheet metal storage, and end position detection in conveyor systems. It is widely used in industrial automation, manufacturing, HVAC, and other sectors requiring reliable non-contact metal detection.

The sensor's metal housing and flush mount design provide high mechanical durability and easy installation. IP67 protection guarantees operation in challenging environments with exposure to dust and water. High switching frequency and precise switching behavior enable accurate control in automated machinery.

Extended sensing ranges from 1.5 mm to 38 mm available in the IME12 series ensure versatility across applications. Compact size and shielded design reduce interference and false triggering in complex installations.

Set within the reliable SICK IME12 series, the IME18-08BNSZW2K model is manufactured in Hungary, representing high quality and long service life. It is an excellent choice for enhancing machine availability and reducing downtime in industrial systems.
