Sick

Sick IME18-08BNSZC0S Inductive Proximity Sensor NPN 8mm M18

SKU CH-Z9TB-FQ7CW

An 8 mm range inductive proximity sensor with NPN NO output, M12 connector, IP67 rating and nickel-plated brass housing for flush mounting

  • 8 mm sensing range for close-proximity detection
  • Flush M18 mounting fits standard threaded holes
  • NPN normally-open output suits DC control circuits
  • IP67 enclosure resists dust and water ingress
  • Operates from –25 °C to +75 °C for harsh environments

Inductive proximity sensor M18

The Sick IME18-08BNSZC0S is an 8 mm flush-mount inductive sensor with a cylindrical M18 × 1 housing. It delivers an NPN normally-open output through a 4-pin M12 connector for direct integration into 10 V DC to 30 V DC control circuits. The nickel-plated brass body and PA 66 sensing face suit machine builders and maintenance teams who need reliable metal detection in automated lines.

Thermals noise and power draw

Operating current stays at 10 mA with a 200 mA continuous load rating and a 2 V drop across the output. The unit tolerates ambient temperatures from –25 °C to +75 °C and meets EN 60947-5-2 EMC requirements without active cooling. An IP67 enclosure rating protects the electronics from oil, coolant and wash-down spray in normal shop conditions.

Accessories and software impact

The 4-pin M12 male connector allows quick attachment of standard sensor cables, reducing wiring time during panel builds or field replacements. Short-circuit, reverse-polarity and power-up pulse protection guard the sensor and downstream I/O modules from common installation faults. No configuration software is required; the sensor is ready to operate once power and the load are connected.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the M18 x 1 threaded sensor flush and what torque should I use?

Screw the nickel-plated brass housing into an M18 x 1 tapped hole until the sensing face sits flush; tighten to a maximum of 40 Nm using a calibrated wrench.

What part of the sensor is most likely to need replacement after long service?

The PA 66 plastic sensing face can wear from repeated contact or abrasive debris; the metal housing and M12 connector typically outlast it.

At what ambient temperature does the sensor reach its operating limit first?

The upper limit is +75 °C; above this the temperature drift of ±10 % on the 8 mm sensing range exceeds specification.
