SICK Capacitive Proximity Sensor Threaded Barrel M18 x 1 8mm Detection PNP 200mA 36V CM18-08BPP-EC1

SICK CM18-08BPP-EC1 is a capacitive proximity sensor featuring a robust threaded barrel design with an 8 mm maximum detection distance. It operates from a 10 to 36 V DC supply and includes a PNP output with a maximum switching current of 200 mA, making it well-suited for a variety of industrial automation applications.

The sensor body has an M18 x 1 thread size allowing for flush mounting with included PA12 plastic mounting nuts. Its housing is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate, granting excellent resistance against mechanical stress and harsh environments. The sensor complies with IP67, IP68, and IP69K ingress protection ratings for reliable use in wet or washdown areas commonly found in food processing and chemical industries.

This device supports a switching frequency of 50 Hz and is shielded to reduce interference from surrounding electronics, ensuring stable operation. It features an operating LED and output LED to provide visual status indication, along with a screwdriver-adjustable potentiometer for user sensitivity fine-tuning.

Electrical protections include short-circuit protection, reverse polarity protection, and power-up pulse suppression, enabling secure installation and operation. The sensor works consistently across an ambient temperature range of -30°C to 85°C, catering to diverse industrial environments.

Common applications include non-contact level detection of bulk and liquid materials, presence sensing of plastics and glass components, and object detection on conveyors, particularly in washdown and food processing environments requiring hygienic design.
