Sick VTE18-3E8612 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor PNP 10-800mm M18 Cable 2m IP67

Sensing Range 10 to 800 mm

The Sick VTE18-3E8612 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with an M18 thread and 63.6 mm housing length. It detects objects using energetic infrared LED light at distances from 10 mm up to 800 mm. The unit operates on 10 to 30 V DC supply voltage and provides a PNP light-switching output rated at 100 mA. A 2 m PVC cable with three 0.14 mm² conductors handles the connection.

Suited for Fixed-Distance Presence Checks

This sensor suits applications where a non-adjustable sensing field is acceptable and the 100 mA PNP output matches the controller input. It fits M18 mounting holes and withstands ambient temperatures from –25 °C to +70 °C. Buyers who need sensitivity adjustment, a different output type such as NPN or analog, or a connector instead of a fixed cable should look at other models.

IP67 Sealed Plastic Housing

The enclosure meets IP67, protecting the PBT/PC housing and PMMA optics against dust ingress and temporary water immersion. This rating decides whether the sensor survives the intended environment. UL file NMFT2.E175606 confirms the component recognition for relevant safety standards.
