SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 x 1, PNP Output, 30 V DC, 200 mA, 8 mm Detection IME18-08NPOZW2K

SICK IME18-08NPOZW2K is a threaded barrel inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation applications requiring precise and reliable metal detection. It operates at 30 V DC supply voltage with a PNP output and supports a maximum switching current of 200 mA. The sensor features a rugged nickel-plated brass housing with a plastic sensing face, providing enhanced mechanical resistance and long service life.

This model offers an 8 mm maximum sensing distance, making it suitable for close-range detection tasks such as presence detection of metal parts, positioning of tool carriers, and end position monitoring of equipment in manufacturing, material handling, and process control systems.

The IP67 rated enclosure ensures robust protection against environmental factors including dust and water, enabling use in harsh industrial settings. The sensor’s operating temperature range from -25°C to +75°C allows functionality in varied thermal conditions. Its threaded barrel design with non-flush mounting facilitates straightforward installation and versatility in placement.

The IME18-08NPOZW2K sensor supports a switching frequency up to 1 kHz, enabling rapid response suitable for fast-moving automation processes. Shielding is unshielded to accommodate different application needs. Electrical configuration includes DC 3-/4-wire and DC 2-wire options to adapt to diverse control circuit requirements.

Typical industrial use includes presence and absence detection in automotive manufacturing, film tension monitoring in packaging lines, position checking in assembly stations, and speed monitoring in escalators. Its precise switching behavior contributes to high machine uptime and operational efficiency.

Set with high-quality standards compliant with EN 60529 and EN 60947-5-2, this sensor is manufactured in Hungary, assuring consistent quality and performance.
