SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 x 1, NPN Output, 30 V dc, 12 mm Detection, Stainless IMB18-12NNOVU2S

The SICK IMB18-12NNOVU2S is a robust threaded barrel inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation and control applications. Featuring an M18 x 1 threaded barrel with a length of 50 mm and an 18 mm width, this sensor detects metallic and plastic materials with a maximum detection range of 12 mm. It operates on a 30 V dc supply with a maximum switching current of 200 mA and an NPN output type.

The sensor's rugged stainless-steel housing and plastic sensing face ensure durability and excellent resistance to harsh environments. Its IP68 and IP69K enclosure ratings certify it against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for outdoor use and exposure to cooling lubricants. The operating temperature range spans from -40 °C up to +100 °C, enabling stable performance across extreme conditions.

Equipped with an optical adjustment indicator and self-locking nuts, installation and commissioning are streamlined, reducing setup errors and downtime. The sensor supports IO-Link communication, providing enhanced diagnostic and configuration flexibility for modern automation systems.

Typical applications include speed measurement, monitoring material transport, valve piston position sensing in lubrication systems, roll-down gate position detection, forklift height measurement, door leaf detection on elevators and automatic sliding doors, zone detection in elevator shafts, revolving door position determination, and speed monitoring in escalators.

This product meets international standards including ISO 20653:2013-03, EN 60529, and EN 60947-5-2. Manufactured in Hungary, it reflects SICK's commitment to quality and reliability.
