RS PRO Cylindrical Thread Design Inductive Proximity Sensor, M18 x 1 PNP 30V 8 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 8mm Maximum Detection, M18x1 Thread size - 1113874

This proximity sensor is a stainless steel, cylindrical threaded device designed to detect plastic targets in industrial environments. It operates as a flush-mounted sensor with a cable output and offers shielding for stable operation in machinery and assembly lines where robust, metal-bodied detection is required.

Features and Benefits:

• PNP output provides simple sourcing signal Interface
  8mm detection range enables close-proximity part sensing
  IP68 and IP69K protection allows washdown and immersion
  200 mA switching current supports direct drive of small loads
  1 kHz switching frequency delivers fast response for high-speed applications

Applications

• Suitable for conveyor part presence monitoring in plastics handling
  Ideal for automated pick-and-place equipment requiring tight sensing gaps
  Used for end-of-line inspection stations in washdown environments
  Can be used with stainless-steel fixtures in food or pharmaceutical plants

What supply voltage is required for operation?

It operates from a DC supply up to 30V and accepts a maximum of 30V for powering the sensor and its switching circuitry.

What temperature range can it withstand during continuous use?

The sensor functions across an ambient span from −40 °C up to 100 °C, permitting deployment in both low-temperature storage and elevated process zones.

How is the unit physically mounted and connected?

It installs flush into an M18 x 1 threaded aperture for low-profile integration and is wired via an attached cable termination for straightforward electrical connection.

What type of targets is the device optimised to detect?

The sensing configuration is tuned for plastic materials, enabling reliable detection of non-metallic components on production lines.
