SICK Threaded Barrel Capacitive Proximity Sensor M30 x 1, 25 mm Detection Range, NPN Output, 200mA, 30 V DC CM30-25NNP-EC1

The SICK CM30-25NNP-EC1 is a high-performance threaded barrel capacitive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation and control applications. It features a robust cylindrical housing in an M30 x 1 threaded barrel style, enabling reliable mounting flexibility. This sensor detects a wide range of materials including powders, granulates, liquids, and solids even through non-metallic barriers such as plastic or glass walls.

With a maximum detection range of 25 mm, the sensor delivers precise object sensing, facilitating tasks like minimum fill level monitoring, packaging detection, and presence detection in production lines. Its unshielded design and high electromagnetic compatibility prevent false triggers and sensor failures in electrically noisy environments.

Designed to operate on a low voltage supply range from 10 V DC up to 36 V DC, the sensor includes an NPN output type capable of handling 200 mA switching currents, suitable for driving typical industrial control inputs. The sensor’s electrical configuration supports both 2-wire and 4-wire DC connections, increasing its integration versatility.

Constructed with durable plastic housing, and rated at IP68 (also meets IP65 and IP69K), it withstands harsh conditions including dust, moisture, and water, making it well suited for demanding industrial, manufacturing, and processing environments. The sensor also performs reliably across a wide temperature span from -30°C up to 85°C, ensuring consistent operation year-round.

Applications for this capacitive proximity sensor include level measurement for seed and fertilizer tanks, detection of solar wafers, packaging presence detection, wood and plastic granulate detection in production lines, and various chemical and pharmaceutical liquid detection tasks. Its compact form factor, optical adjustment indicator, and high switching frequency (up to 50 Hz) allow precise and efficient monitoring in automated systems.

Suitable for detecting powders, granulates, liquids, and solids through plastic or glass. Equipped with an unshielded cylindrical threaded barrel housing for versatile mounting. Operates on a 10 V DC to 36 V DC supply voltage with NPN output type supporting 200mA switching current.
