Small cylindrical metal sensor with M8 connector and plastic sensing face

Sick

Sick IME08-04NNSZTOS Inductive Proximity Sensor NPN M8 4 mm

SKU CH-6M5P-X8VE9

M8 inductive proximity sensor detects metal at 4 mm with NPN output, 4,000 Hz switching and IP67 rating

  • 4 mm sensing range for reliable detection
  • NPN normally-open output simplifies wiring
  • IP67 enclosure rating resists dust and water
  • M8 connector enables quick installation
  • Operates from -25 °C to +75 °C

Sensing Range and Thread Size

The Sick IME08-04NNSZTOS is an inductive proximity sensor with a 4 mm sensing range and a safe sensing range of 3.24 mm. It features an M8 x 1 cylindrical thread design suitable for industrial automation tasks requiring non-flush mounting. The NPN normally open output operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage.

Switching Frequency and Output Stability

A switching frequency of 4,000 Hz supports rapid detection cycles under continuous operation. Reproducibility is rated at 2 percent with a hysteresis band of 5 percent to 15 percent. Temperature drift of the sensing range stays within ±10 percent across the operating envelope. Short-circuit, reverse polarity and power-up pulse protection are integrated.

Housing Materials and Connector

The housing uses nickel-plated brass with a PA 66 sensing face, rated IP67 for dust and water ingress protection. An M8 3-pin connector provides the electrical interface while the metal thread allows secure mounting with a maximum tightening torque of 5 Nm. The unit withstands 30 g shock and vibration from 10 Hz to 55 Hz at 1 mm amplitude. Operating temperature spans –25 °C to +75 °C.

Questions about this item

How much power does the IME08-04NNSZTOS draw when running continuously on a 24 V supply?

Current consumption is 10 mA at 10–30 V DC, with a maximum continuous output current of 200 mA.

Which mating connector and voltage source are required to operate this sensor?

An M8 3-pin connector and a 10–30 V DC supply with ≤10 % ripple are needed.

Will the M8 thread and 4 mm sensing range work reliably next to older M8 flush-mount sensors?

This non-flush M8×1 sensor needs a 4 mm clear zone; its 5 %–15 % hysteresis and ±10 % temperature drift differ from flush types.
