SICK IM12-10NPS-NC1 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The SICK IM12-10NPS-NC1 is a compact inductive proximity sensor from the IMI series with a 10 mm nominal sensing distance and a cylindrical M12 x 1 package. It offers a three‑wire PNP SPST‑NO output and runs on a 10 to 30 V DC supply, delivering a straightforward switching signal when a metal target enters its sensing zone. This non‑contact metal detector is designed for space‑constrained installations on small automation modules, conveyors, and machine frames, providing reliable position sensing and presence detection without mechanical contact. The IM12‑10NPS‑NC1 variant aligns with standard IMI 10 mm specifications and is compatible with typical industrial control circuits that expect a NO switching output, enabling easy integration with PLCs and compact controllers in tight installations.
