Inductive Sensor, M18, NPN, Sn 8mm, 2M

SICK Proximity Sensor, 8mm Maximum Detection, M18x1 Thread Size - 1050871

This proximity sensor is an inductive M18 threaded-barrel device designed for presence detection in industrial automation and control systems. It operates from a low-voltage DC supply and is built for installation where non-flush mounting and sealed protection are required, making it suitable for routine sensing tasks in manufacturing and machinery environments.

Features & Benefits

• 8mm sensing distance delivers accurate object detection in confined spaces
  NPN normally-open output supports simple sinking switching logic
  Operates at up to 1kHz switching frequency for high-speed counting
  Withstands -25 to 75 °C allowing use across varied ambient conditions
  Cable Terminal with 2m PVC lead enables straightforward wiring
  Short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection reduce downtime risk

**Applications**

• Suitable for position sensing on assembly lines
  Ideal for metal part detection in CNC machinery
  Used for proximity feedback in conveyor systems
  Can be used for object counting in packaging equipment
  Used with robotic end-of-arm tooling for presence verification

What supply voltages can the sensor accept?

It runs from 10V to 30V DC, compatible with common industrial DC supplies.

How much load current can the output drive?

The switching contact can carry up to 200mA, suitable for driving relays or PLC inputs.

What environmental protection level does it provide?

The enclosure meets IP67, protecting against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water.

What mechanical mounting format and material are used?

It uses an M18x1 threaded barrel for non-flush mounting and a nickel-plated brass housing for mechanical robustness.
