SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 x 1, 30V DC, 200mA, 8 mm Detection Range IMF18-08BPONC0S

The SICK IMF18-08BPONC0S threaded barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor is engineered for precise metal detection in demanding industrial settings, supporting critical automation and control systems running on a 30 V DC voltage with 200 mA switching current capacity. Its compact M18 x 1 threaded barrel design, with 65 mm length and 18 mm width, allows easy flush mounting where space constraints exist.

Constructed with a stainless-steel housing that is food-compatible and resistant to Ecolab-certified industrial cleaning agents, this sensor delivers superior durability and longevity even under frequent cleaning cycles. Rated IP68 and IP69K, it offers high protection against dust ingress and water jets, making it ideal for food industry environments and other harsh conditions.

The IMF18-08BPONC0S sensor operates reliably within a temperature range from -40°C to +100°C and features a quasi-shielded sensing face that detects metal objects up to 8 mm away, with high switching frequency performance of up to 1 kHz for rapid response and process control.

Equipped with a 4-pin terminal and PNP output, it facilitates straightforward wiring and integration into automation setups, including flexible IO-Link communication options for enhanced connectivity and diagnostics. The optical adjustment indicator aids in quick, error-free installation and commissioning.

Applications include valve position detection, coupling bend query, and other industrial process automation uses where reliable, high-precision inductive sensing is critical. The modular IMF series design supports customer-specific variants and quick deployment.
