SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M12 x 1, NPN Output, 30 V DC, 200mA, 4 mm Detection, IME12-04BNOZC0K

The SICK IME12-04BNOZC0K is a high-performance threaded barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor engineered for industrial automation and control applications. It features an M12 x 1 metal housing measuring 46 mm in length and 12 mm in width, designed to provide robust mechanical stability and high resistance against harsh environments.

This sensor operates with a maximum supply voltage and DC voltage of 30 V and supports a switching current of 200 mA. Its sensing range reaches up to 4 mm, suitable for detecting plastic and other metallic objects with precision. The flush mount design combined with a 4-pin terminal type allows for easy integration into machinery and control circuits.

With an IP67 enclosure rating, the sensor is protected against dust entry and water immersion up to 1 meter depth, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments. It is capable of functioning within a temperature range from -25°C to +75°C, ensuring reliable performance in extreme conditions.

The sensor’s integrated ASIC chip enables digital adjustment post-manufacturing and guarantees precise switching points along with consistent repeatability across multiple production runs. Encapsulation with hotmelt molding enhances shock and vibration resistance, resulting in high machine availability through rugged design.

This inductive sensor supports switching frequencies of up to 2 kHz, facilitating high-speed detection tasks in automated manufacturing, packaging, material handling, and robotics. The shielded sensor construction effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference, supporting stable operation even in electrically noisy industrial settings.
