Cylindrical angled metal sensor with M12 connector

Sick

Sick VTF18-4P5340 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor PNP 10-30V DC IP67

SKU CH-ZY59-ZTXDX

Detects objects up to 45 mm away using infrared LED light with a 10-30 V DC PNP output in a brass nickel-plated cylindrical housing rated IP67

  • PNP output simplifies PLC wiring
  • 10–30 V DC supply fits common control voltages
  • 45 mm sensing range detects close targets
  • IP67 rating withstands wash-down and dust
  • Brass housing resists industrial wear

Industrial proximity sensor

The Sick VTF18-4P5340 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor designed for industrial automation and machine monitoring. It uses an infrared LED to detect objects at distances up to 45 mm with a maximum range of 50 mm. The metal housing is nickel-plated brass and rated IP67 for harsh environments. A potentiometer allows sensitivity adjustment.

Pre-installation checks

Verify that your control system accepts a PNP switching output and can supply 10 to 30 V DC with ripple below 10 %. The sensor connects via a male M12 4-pin connector; ensure the matching cable is available. Confirm the mounting location accommodates the 75 mm angled housing and that ambient temperatures stay within –25 °C to +70 °C.

Sustained-load behaviour

Power consumption remains at 30 mA during continuous operation. The response time is 2 ms, providing consistent switching speed over long duty cycles. The IP67 enclosure and brass housing resist coolant, oil and dust ingress without degradation. The L/D control cable permits light- or dark-switching selection without interrupting the process.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Sick VTF18-4P5340 sensor and what must I source separately?

The sensor ships as a standalone unit with an M12 4-pin male connector; you will need a compatible M12 4-pin cable or connector block and a 10–30 V DC power supply to complete the installation.

Which sensing range figure should I use when selecting this VTF18-4P5340 model?

The sensor detects objects from 0 mm to 45 mm under normal conditions; the 0–50 mm value is the absolute maximum range.

What does the 2 ms response time mean for my machine cycle?

The output changes state within 2 ms of detecting or losing a target, so the sensor can reliably track objects on production lines moving at typical automation speeds.
