  • 10–30 V DC supply fits standard industrial power

Industrial photoelectric proximity sensor

The Sick VTF18-4P5912 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor designed for industrial automation and position-sensing tasks. It detects objects using an infrared LED and provides a PNP switching output compatible with standard PLC inputs. The angled housing suits tight mounting spaces on conveyors or machine frames.

PNP output with selectable light/dark switching

The sensor delivers a PNP switching signal and includes an L/D control cable that lets the installer choose between light-switching or dark-switching logic without rewiring. Supply voltage ranges from 10 V DC to 30 V DC with a maximum current draw of 30 mA. A 2 ms response time supports fast cycling applications.

Sensing range up to 45 mm in IP67 housing

Reliable detection extends from 0 mm to 45 mm, with a maximum range of 50 mm under ideal conditions. The plastic housing and PMMA optics meet IP67 enclosure rating and operate from –25 °C to +70 °C. A 2 m PVC cable with 0.14 mm² conductors provides the electrical connection.

Questions about this item

What sensing range will the VTF18-4P5912 actually give me on a production line?

The sensor detects objects from 0 mm up to 45 mm with its infrared LED, and the maximum range extends to 50 mm under ideal conditions.

How does the 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply and PNP output limit the way I wire this sensor?

It operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC with a PNP switching output that sources current to the load; the L/D control cable selects light or dark switching.

Will the 60.6 mm cylindrical angled housing with a 2 m PVC cable fit inside my machine guard?

The housing measures 60.6 mm with an angled light exit, IP67-rated plastic construction, and a fixed 2 m PVC cable of 5 mm diameter for mounting flexibility.
