SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 x 1 30 V dc 8 mm Detection 2-Wire IMB18-08BDSVC0S

The SICK IMB18-08BDSVC0S is a high-precision threaded barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor designed for industrial and automation applications requiring reliable detection of plastic materials. Operating at a maximum supply voltage of 30 V dc and a switching current up to 100 mA, it delivers stable detection at a maximum sensing distance of 8 mm.

Constructed with a rugged stainless steel housing and plastic sensing face, this sensor is engineered to withstand harsh conditions including exposure to oils, coolants, and outdoor environments. Its robust design meets IP68 and IP69K enclosure ratings, providing protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets.

Ideal for installation in flush mounting configurations due to its threaded barrel design measuring M18 x 1 with an 18 mm width and 65 mm length, the sensor operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -40°C up to 100°C.

The sensor utilizes quasi-shielded detection technology suitable for plastic materials, with a switching frequency capability of 1 kHz, ensuring quick and accurate response times essential for process automation and monitoring tasks.

Additional features include a 4-pin terminal with a 2-wire output type and compatibility with IO-Link protocols, enhancing communication flexibility and process control in automation systems.

The sensor design supports stable processes through extended and precise sensing ranges using advanced SICK ASIC technology. Quick installation is facilitated by optical adjustment indicators and self-locking nuts, reducing commissioning time and errors.

Applicable in speed measurement, material transport monitoring, valve piston positioning, gate position detection, forklift height measurement, elevator door leaf and zone detection, revolving door positioning, escalator speed monitoring, and other industrial automation tasks.

Manufactured in Hungary to meet EN 60947-5-2 standards, ensuring conformity and quality.
