Sick IME18-08NNSZW2S Magnetic Proximity Sensor

Series#: Sick

Product Details

SICK IME18-08NNSZW2S and IME18-08NPSZW2S are precision M18 inductive proximity sensors designed for reliable metal object detection in industrial automation.
Non-flush installation with an 8 mm sensing range (Sa: 6.48 mm), ideal for tight-space applications where target material is ferrous or non-ferrous.
Rugged brass, nickel-plated housing with IP67 rating, ensuring durability in harsh environments with shock and vibration resistance up to 30 g.
DC 3-wire operation with NPN normally open (NO) output, supporting 10-30 V DC supply and high switching frequency of 1,000 Hz.
Integrated short-circuit, reverse polarity, and power-up pulse protection for enhanced system reliability and reduced downtime.
PVC cable connection, 2 m length, with a 0.25 mm² conductor—ready for quick integration into control panels or PLC inputs.
100% Genuine and New, rigorously inspected before international dispatch.

Specification

The SICK IME18-08NNSZW2S and IME18-08NPSZW2S represent a high-performance series of M18 inductive proximity sensors engineered for precision metal sensing in demanding industrial environments. These non-flush mountable units deliver a nominal sensing range of 8 mm (safe range: 6.48 mm), making them ideal for detecting ferrous and non-ferrous targets without direct contact. Built with a nickel-plated brass housing and a PA 66 sensing face, they withstand shock up to 30 g, vibration from 10 Hz to 55 Hz, and operate reliably across -25 °C to +75 °C. The DC 3-wire design, combined with NPN normally open output and a 2 m PVC cable, ensures seamless integration into control systems requiring fast switching up to 1,000 Hz. With comprehensive protection features—short-circuit, reverse polarity, and power-up pulse—these sensors guarantee long-term stability in automation lines, packaging machinery, or material handling systems.
