SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M12 x 1 PNP 30 V dc 200mA IMB12-04BPPVC0K

SICK IMB12-04BPPVC0K threaded barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor offers highly reliable metal detection within industrial automation, manufacturing, and control applications. The sensor has a sturdy stainless steel body, providing resistance to chemicals, oils, coolants, and severe environmental conditions. Its 4 mm maximum detection range supports accurate presence detection of metals such as steel, copper, brass, aluminium, and 304 V2A stainless steel.

This sensor is designed for flush mounting using an M12 x 1 threaded barrel and features a shielded sensing face, which enables it to operate with minimal influence from surrounding metal interference. The robust design includes IP68 and IP69K ratings to withstand high-pressure water jets and dust ingress, making it suitable for harsh industrial settings including food processing and heavy machinery environments.

Electrical specifications include a maximum operating voltage of 30 V dc and a switching current capacity of 200 mA with a PNP output type. The device incorporates an LED status indicator to provide clear operational feedback, enhancing system diagnostics. It operates effectively in a temperature range from -40°C to 100°C, allowing usage in extreme hot or cold conditions.

The sensor supports communication through IO-Link interface technology ensuring reliable control and integration into automated systems. Its rugged stainless-steel housing and shock resistance up to 150 g improve durability and lifespan in demanding applications such as conveyor systems, robotics, and metal fabrication lines.

Stainless steel housing provides chemical and mechanical resistance. Flush mount type with M12 x 1 threaded barrel for secure installation. Detection distance of 4 mm suitable for precise metal sensing. Shielded design reduces false triggers from surrounding metal objects.

IP68 and IP69K certification for protection against dust and water ingress. Operating temperature range from -40°C to 100°C. 4-pin M12 male connector for reliable electrical connection. Certified to CE, cULus, EN 60529, and EN 60947-5-2 standards.
