Small cylindrical metal sensor with M8 connector and threaded body

Sick

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

SKU CH-QZGZ-26TJV

Flush-mount M8 inductive sensor detects metal at 2 mm with 4,000 Hz switching and IP67 protection

  • 2 mm sensing range for precise metal detection
  • M8 cylindrical housing fits tight mounting spaces
  • 4,000 Hz switching frequency supports high-speed automation
  • IP67 enclosure rating withstands dust and water ingress
  • NPN normally-open output simplifies PLC integration

Cylindrical M8 inductive sensor for metal detection

The Sick IME08-02BNSZTOS is a flush-mount inductive proximity sensor with an 8 mm threaded barrel and a 2 mm sensing range. It provides an NPN normally-open output on a 3-pin M8 connector for integration into DC control circuits. The nickel-plated brass housing and PA 66 sensing face suit industrial automation tasks that require reliable metal target detection.

IP67 enclosure with low current draw

The sensor operates from 10 to 30 V DC with a maximum current consumption of 10 mA and a 200 mA continuous output rating. Built-in protections include short-circuit, reverse-polarity and power-up pulse safeguards. An IP67 rating and an operating span of –25 °C to +75 °C allow use in wet, dusty or temperature-variable environments without additional sealing.

34 mm thread length fits standard M8 mounting holes

A 50 mm overall housing length and 34 mm thread length suit panels or brackets tapped for M8 x 1 threads with a maximum tightening torque of 5 Nm. The 4,000 Hz switching frequency supports high-speed counting or position verification. The 3-wire DC wiring and M8 connector simplify installation in cable trays or conduit runs where quick-disconnect serviceability is required.

Questions about this item

How do I install the M8 x 1 threaded sensor and what torque step is often missed?

Screw the nickel-plated brass housing into an M8 x 1 threaded hole, flush mount the 8 mm diameter barrel, then tighten to the maximum 5 Nm torque — skipping the torque limit can damage the 34 mm thread length or shift the 2 mm sensing range.

What maintenance or replacement will the sensor need over time?

The PA 66 plastic sensing face can wear or crack in abrasive environments; the IP67-rated metal housing resists ingress, but no user-serviceable parts exist — replace the entire unit if the face is damaged or output drifts beyond the ±10 % temperature specification.

What limit appears first during continuous high-speed operation?

The 4,000 Hz switching frequency sets the maximum cycle rate; at sustained full-speed triggering the 200 mA continuous current limit and 2 V voltage drop combine to increase self-heating, which can push the 75 °C ambient ceiling before other parameters are reached.
