SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M8 x 1, PNP Output, 30 V dc, 3 mm Detection, Nickel Plated IME08-03BPSZT0S

SICK IME08-03BPSZT0S is a high-performance threaded barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor engineered for industrial automation applications requiring precise metal detection within a 3 mm range. It utilizes inductive technology to detect metallic objects reliably without physical contact, thus eliminating wear from moving parts.

The sensor’s M8 x 1 nickel plated brass housing ensures robust mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh operating environments. Its IP67 rating provides dust-tight and waterproof protection, allowing deployment in demanding conditions common in manufacturing, packaging, and conveyor systems.

This PNP output type sensor operates at a maximum supply voltage of 30 V dc and supports a switching current up to 200 mA, enabling seamless integration with industrial control systems. The quasi-flush mount style permits flexible installation close to detected objects while maintaining excellent sensing performance with shielding to reduce interference.

Operating temperature ranges from -25°C to 75°C, addressing a wide range of industrial thermal conditions. With an 8 mm diameter and 50 mm length, it fits compact spaces while offering fast switching speeds up to 1 kHz, ideal for applications like automated assembly lines, robotics, and security systems.

The proximity sensor accurately detects metals such as 304 V2A stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, and steel. Shielded design enhances sensing precision by minimizing external electrical noise. Applications include component detection on conveyor belts, product positioning in packaging machines, and object tracking in automated systems.

Reverse polarity protection improves reliability and safeguards against installation errors. CE certification and cULus listing demonstrate compliance with international safety and quality standards.

This sensor is an ideal choice for industrial automation, manufacturing, laboratory instrumentation, and HVAC control applications demanding reliable and precise metallic object detection.
