RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor, M18 x 1 PNP 30V dc 8 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 8mm Maximum Detection, M18 x 1 Thread size - 1050872

This proximity sensor detects metal objects without contact and is intended for industrial automation and control environments. It is housed in a threaded M18 barrel with a nickel-plated brass body and is designed for non-flush mounting in machinery and equipment where a compact, robust proximity switch is required.

Features and Benefits:

• 8mm sensing distance enables precise object detection
  PNP output provides easy sourcing interfacing with control systems
  200mA switching current supports direct load switching
  1kHz switching frequency permits fast Pulse detection
  IP67 ingress protection allows washdown and dusty conditions
  Cable termination offers straightforward installation without connectors

Applications

• Suitable for position sensing on conveyor systems
  Ideal for end-of-travel detection on pneumatic actuators
  Used for part presence checks in assembly automation
  Can be used for metal detection in sorting equipment

What supply voltage range does it accept?

It operates from 24–30V DC which suits standard industrial DC supplies and common PLC inputs.

What temperature conditions can it withstand during operation?

The sensor functions between -25 °C and 75 °C, allowing use across cold storage and warm plant areas.

How is the sensor mounted and fixed in place?

The M18 x 1 threaded barrel allows secure non-flush mounting with standard nuts and brackets.

What approvals and material considerations affect installation?

The nickel-plated brass housing meets industry safety listings including cULus and UL and conforms to RoHS restrictions.

How does shielding and Terminal style influence sensor placement?

The unshielded inductive design requires mounting that prevents interference from nearby metal, and the cable Terminal provides a permanent wiring solution.
