Sick IME12-02BNOZW2KS16 Inductive Proximity Sensor NPN 2 mm Flush Mount

SKU CH-QMX1-EYB6P

A 2 mm range inductive proximity sensor with NPN normally-closed output, IP67-rated metal housing, and 2 m PVC cable

  • 2 mm flush sensing fits tight machine spaces
  • NPN normally-closed output simplifies safety-circuit wiring
  • 2 000 Hz switching handles high-speed part detection
  • IP67-rated nickel-plated brass survives coolant and wash-down
  • 10–30 V DC supply with short-circuit protection eases integration

Sick M12 inductive sensor NPN

The Sick IME12-02BNOZW2KS16 is a cylindrical M12 x 1 inductive proximity sensor with a 2 mm flush sensing range and NPN normally-closed output. It suits automation engineers and maintenance teams who need reliable metal detection in tight machine frames. A 2 m PVC cable and IP67 rating support installation on conveyors, packaging lines or robotic cells where space is limited and wash-down occurs.

Check voltage wiring and mounting space

Verify the control system supplies 10 V DC to 30 V DC with less than 10 % ripple and can accept a 2 V drop at up to 200 mA continuous load. The three-wire DC circuit requires an NPN-compatible input module. Confirm the M12 x 1 thread clearance allows the 39 mm housing length and 24 mm thread engagement, and that the 12 Nm maximum tightening torque matches the bracket material.

Replaces larger or slower sensors

This short-body unit upgrades from longer M12 sensors when panel depth is restricted, and from lower-frequency switches when the 2,000 Hz switching rate reduces cycle time. The 1.62 mm safe sensing range and ±10 % temperature drift maintain repeatable triggering across –25 °C to +75 °C. Buyers who need a normally-open output, PNP logic, or a connectorised version should select a different part number.

Questions about this item

Does the Sick IME12 sensor include mounting hardware or do I need to buy nuts and washers separately?

The sensor has an M12×1 thread with 24 mm thread length and a maximum tightening torque of 12 Nm; mounting nuts and washers are not included and must be sourced separately.

The part number shows NPN NC output — is there a PNP or NO version available under the same model?

This specific model IME12-02BNOZW2KS16 is defined as NPN with normally closed output function; other output types would carry a different model designation.

What does the 2 mm sensing range mean when the sensor is installed flush in metal?

The rated sensing distance Sn is 2 mm with a safe operating distance Sa of 1.62 mm; flush mounting in metal allows full use of this range without reduction.
