Sick IME08-02BNSZTOK Inductive Proximity Sensor NPN M8 2 mm

Sick M8 Inductive Sensor for Industrial Detection

The Sick IME08-02BNSZTOK is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for flush mounting in metal structures. It detects ferrous targets at a 2 mm sensing range with a 1.62 mm safe operating distance. The sensor operates on 10 to 30 V DC supply voltage and provides an NPN normally-open output through an M8 3-pin connector. Its nickel-plated brass housing meets IP67 enclosure rating for harsh environments.

Ideal for Automated Machinery and Position Sensing

This sensor suits automation engineers who need reliable metal detection in confined spaces with a 41 mm short body. The 4,000 Hz switching frequency supports high-speed counting or presence verification on conveyors. Buyers requiring longer sensing distances, PNP output logic, or cable-terminated connections should look at alternative models. The flush mount design limits use where non-flush installation is required.

Stable Output Under Continuous Industrial Operation

The sensor maintains consistent performance across a –25 °C to +75 °C temperature range with only ±10 % sensing drift. Short-circuit, reverse polarity, and power-up pulse protection prevent damage during electrical disturbances. Reproducibility stays within 2 % while hysteresis remains between 5 % and 15 % over extended cycles. Shock resistance at 30 g and vibration tolerance up to 55 Hz ensure durability under sustained mechanical load.
