Sick VTE180-2N41147 cylindrical photoelectric sensor NPN

SKU CH-QD0Z-E6WPK

Cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with NPN output, 10–30 V DC supply, and IP67-rated plastic housing

  • Reliable detection up to 500 mm with energetic photoelectric principle
  • Precise sensing range adjustment via 270° potentiometer
  • Durable IP67 enclosure withstands dust and water immersion
  • Flexible 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage range
  • High-speed 1,000 Hz switching frequency for fast response

Cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor

The Sick VTE180-2N41147 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with an energetic detection principle. It operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and provides an NPN switching output with selectable light or dark switching via an L/D control cable. The sensor suits automation tasks requiring object detection within a defined range.

Sustained operation up to 55 °C

The unit is rated for an ambient operating temperature of –25 °C to +55 °C and an IP67 enclosure rating. Its plastic PBT/PC housing and PMMA optics resist dust and water ingress during continuous use. A 2 m PVC cable with 0.18 mm² conductors carries power and signal without a connector. The switching frequency reaches 1,000 Hz with a 0.5 ms response time.

Sensing range max 500 mm

The maximum sensing range extends to 500 mm with a practical range of 350 mm. A visible red LED at 645 nm produces a 1.5° dispersion angle and a 20 mm light spot at 400 mm distance. Sensing range is adjustable through a 270° potentiometer. Output current is limited to 100 mA.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the VTE180-2N41147 draw when running continuously?

The sensor consumes 30 mA from a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with ±10 % ripple, weighs 62 g and is rated IP67 for continuous operation between –25 °C and +55 °C.

What must I already have to wire and mount this sensor?

You need a 10 V DC to 30 V DC power source, an NPN-compatible input, and an M18 × 1 threaded hole; two fastening nuts are supplied with the 2 m PVC cable.

Will the 645 nm red LED and 1.5° beam work reliably beside older M18 sensors?

The axial visible red LED produces a 20 mm spot at 400 mm with a 1.5° dispersion angle, and the potentiometer adjusts range from 1 mm to 350 mm to avoid cross-talk with adjacent units.
