SICK IM08-1B5PS-ZT1 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The SICK IM08-1B5PS-ZT1 is an 8 mm cylindrical inductive proximity sensor from the IM Standard family, featuring an M8 x 1 threaded housing and flush-mount design for compact metal-detection tasks in automation. It has a 1.5 mm sensing range (Sn) and a DC 3‑wire connection with a PNP, normally open (NO) output accessible through a 3‑pin M8 connector, making it suitable for sourcing a logic signal from metal targets. The sensor operates on 10–30 V DC with ripple ≤ 10% and a maximum voltage drop of ≤ 1.2 V, supports a switching frequency up to 3,000 Hz, and includes a time delay before availability of ≤ 100 ms, with hysteresis specified as 2% to 10% and reproducibility ≤ 2% at Ia max. Its enclosure is IP67-rated for protection against dust and water ingress, and the part number is 6020219. Typical applications include position sensing on conveyors, automation assemblies, packaging lines, machine tools, and robotic pick-and-place tasks where a metal target must be detected without contact.
