  • 2 m PUR/PVC cable provides flexible installation reach

Sick MZR2-03VNS-AU0 Round Body Cylinder

The Sick MZR2-03VNS-AU0 is a round body cylinder proximity sensor designed for industrial automation tasks. It suits engineers and technicians who require reliable non-contact metal detection in a compact metal housing. The sensor mounts easily with its 30 mm length and front sensing face. It is not for buyers who need a rectangular housing or a different output logic type.

Thermals noise and power draw

The unit operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with a power consumption of 10 mA. Continuous output current is rated at 300 mA with a voltage drop of 1.5 V. It functions across an ambient temperature range of –25 °C to +75 °C. The IP67 enclosure rating protects against dust and temporary immersion during normal use.

5000 Hz switching frequency

A switching frequency of 5000 Hz supports high-speed counting and position monitoring applications. The NPN normally open output connects via a 2 m PUR/PVC cable with 0.25 mm² conductors. Reproducibility is specified at 0.1 mm for consistent switching points. Reverse polarity, short-circuit and power-up pulse protection are integrated.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Sick MZR2-03VNS-AU0 round body cylinder, and what wiring step is often missed?

Mount the 30 mm metal housing, connect the 2 m PUR/PVC cable with 0.25 mm² conductors to a 10 V DC ... 30 V DC supply using the DC 3-wire scheme, and ensure the NPN output is wired correctly for the NO function — the polarity protection helps but reversed wires will still prevent operation.

What maintenance or replacement will the Sick MZR2-03VNS-AU0 cylinder need over time?

The IP67-rated housing and PUR/PVC cable resist oil and vibration, but inspect the cable jacket and 3-wire connections periodically; replace the unit if the sensing face plastic is damaged or if output drift exceeds the 0.1 mm reproducibility spec.

What limit appears first when the Sick MZR2-03VNS-AU0 runs continuously at high speed?

The 5,000 Hz switching frequency caps the maximum cycle rate; sustained operation at that speed combined with a 1.5 V voltage drop and 300 mA continuous current can raise internal temperature toward the +75 °C ambient limit.
