SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 x 1, 30 V DC, 12 mm Detection Range, NPN Output IME18-12BNSZC0S

SICK IME18-12BNSZC0S is a threaded barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor designed for industrial automation and control applications. Featuring a sturdy metal housing with a plastic sensing face, it provides a reliable maximum detection distance of 12 mm for metal objects.

The sensor measures 69 mm in length with an 18 mm diameter thread size (M18 x 1), allowing for flush mounting in complex machine setups. It operates on a DC supply voltage of up to 30 V and is capable of switching currents up to 200 mA, making it suitable for various industrial control circuits.

Rated IP67, this proximity sensor is dust-tight and protected against temporary water immersion, ensuring durable operation under harsh environmental conditions. The sensor operates reliably within a temperature range of -25°C to +75°C and features quasishielded sensing technology to reduce interference.

Conforming to international standards EN 60947-5-2 and EN 60529, the sensor includes an NPN output configuration for seamless integration. The integrated ASIC chip allows digital adjustment post-manufacturing, ensuring excellent switching precision and repeatability over many production cycles. Its hotmelt encapsulation improves shock and vibration resistance, enhancing machine availability.

Applications include presence detection of car body parts, position checking of components, automated part feeding, end position detection, and monitoring of conveyor system positions in automotive, manufacturing, material handling, and packaging industries.
