SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 x 1, PNP Output, 30 V DC, 12 mm Detection Range, 69mm IME18-12NPSZC0S

SICK IME18-12NPSZC0S is a high-performance threaded barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor designed for reliable metal detection in industrial environments. Featuring an M18 x 1 body size and a 69 mm length, this sensor integrates seamlessly into automated production lines, packaging machinery, robotic applications, and conveyor systems.

The sensor operates on a 10 to 30 V DC supply, with a PNP output type that supports a switching current of up to 200 mA. Its robust nickel plated brass housing and IP67 rating provide excellent protection against dust and water ingress, ensuring durability in harsh conditions.

With a maximum detection range of 12 mm and an unshielded, non-flush design, it provides enhanced sensitivity by positioning the sensing face above mounting surfaces, reducing interference and risk of damage. It maintains stable operation across a wide temperature range from -25°C to 75°C while supporting switching frequencies up to 1 kHz for rapid response times.

The IME18-12NPSZC0S sensor meets EN 60947-5-2 standards for electrical safety and performance, making it ideal for precision tasks in manufacturing and automation sectors. Installation should follow a tightening torque of 40 Nm for optimal mounting security without damaging the sensor.
