Sick IM30-40NPS-ZC1 Optic Electronic Sensor Module

IM30-40NPS-ZC1 is a compact inductive proximity sensor from SICK with a 30 mm diameter housing and M30 x 1.5 thread designed for non-contact metal detection in tight spaces. It provides a 40 mm sensing range (Sn) with a safe sensing distance of 32.4 mm (Sa) and is configured for non-flush installation, making it suitable for side-mensing of targets on compact equipment. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 V DC, uses a 3-wire DC circuit with a PNP normally open output, and communicates via a 4-pin M12 connector, delivering a switching frequency up to 100 Hz. Encased to IP67 for rugged environments, IM30-40NPS-ZC1 ships with mounting hardware, including two brass mounting nuts and two brass washers with locking teeth for secure installation. Its triple sensing range is a distinctive feature that provides flexibility in detecting metal targets at varying distances without changing the housing. Typical applications include presence or position sensing on conveyors, machine tools, and automated production lines where reliable metal-target detection at up to 40 mm is required. Part number 6027522.
