SICK 1040982 IME18-12NPOZC0S Inductive Proximity Switch

The SICK IME18-12NPOZC0S Inductive Proximity Switch delivers reliable metal detection with a 12 mm switching distance in a durable M18 cylindrical housing. Its 3‑wire DC configuration powers from 10 to 30 V DC and provides a PNP SPST‑NC (normally closed) output through a 4‑pin M12 connector, making it suitable for sourcing logic in compact control cabinets. With an IP67 enclosure and a robust M18 x 1 thread, this sensor tolerates dust, water, and harsh industrial environments, while including two nickel‑plated brass mounting nuts for secure installation. The device supports a switching frequency up to 1,000 Hz and offers a guaranteed operating range Sa of 9.72 mm, enabling dependable sensing of metal targets on moving parts, conveyors, or machine frames. Part of SICK’s IME family, it is designed for precise position sensing and end‑of‑stroke detection in automation, robotics, and machinery where compact size and durable metal housing are essential.
