Sick VTE18-4P4140 Photoelectric proximity sensor PNP

SKU CH-BHYR-H40VA

Cylindrical M18 photoelectric proximity sensor with 5 mm to 350 mm sensing range, PNP output and IP67-rated nickel-plated brass housing

  • Photoelectric sensor detects objects up to 400 mm away
  • PNP output with selectable light/dark switching mode
  • IP67 rated metal housing withstands harsh environments
  • Operates on 10–30 V DC supply voltage
  • Fast 2 ms response time at 250 Hz switching frequency

Industrial proximity sensor

The Sick VTE18-4P4140 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor designed for industrial automation tasks where non-contact object detection is required. Its PNP switching output and selectable light/dark switching mode suit PLC inputs and control circuits in manufacturing or packaging environments.

Detection range and output limits

The energetic sensing principle delivers a maximum range of 5 mm to 400 mm with a defined sensing range of 5 mm to 350 mm using infrared LED emission. The PNP output switches at up to 250 Hz with a 2 ms response time and is rated for a maximum load current of 100 mA.

M12 connector and supply voltage

The sensor terminates in a 4-pin M12 male connector and operates from a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with 10 % allowable ripple. This specific connector and voltage window determine whether the unit can be wired directly into an existing control cabinet or machine harness.

Questions about this item

Which sensing range version of the VTE18-4P4140 should I choose for my application?

The sensor offers a maximum sensing range of 5 mm to 400 mm and a specified sensing range of 5 mm to 350 mm. Select based on the required detection distance and target reflectivity.

What does the 250 Hz switching frequency mean when the sensor is installed?

The sensor can detect and switch up to 250 times per second with a 2 ms response time, suitable for fast-moving objects on conveyors or packaging lines.

How does the M12 4-pin connector and 10–30 V DC supply affect wiring?

The 4-pin M12 connector carries the PNP switching output and selectable light/dark control. The sensor operates on 10–30 V DC with a maximum output current of 100 mA.
