SICK Inductive Proximity Sensor IME08-1B5PSZT0S

Product Description

It features an M8 threaded housing with a smooth barrel, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. The sensor operates with a nominal sensing range of 1.5 mm (flush mountable) and offers a switching frequency of up to 5 kHz, ensuring fast and reliable detection of metallic objects. Its robust construction meets IP67 protection, making it suitable for harsh environments with dust and moisture exposure. This sensor uses a PNP output with normally open (NO) switching function, providing a simple interface to PLCs and other control systems. It operates on a supply voltage range of 10 V DC to 30 V DC, with a maximum output current of 200 mA. The IME08-1B5PSZT0S features a short-circuit protection and reverse polarity protection, enhancing its reliability and longevity in demanding applications. The electrical connection is via a 2-meter PVC cable, ensuring easy installation without additional connectors. Typical applications include machine tooling, conveyor systems, packaging equipment, and automotive assembly lines. The sensor's compact size and high switching frequency make it suitable for position detection, part presence verification, and end-of-stroke sensing. With its high EMC immunity and temperature stability (operating range -25 °C to +75 °C), the IME08-1B5PSZT0S delivers consistent performance in industrial settings. The SICK IME08-1B5PSZT0S is a compact inductive proximity sensor from the IME series, designed for precise metal detection in industrial automation.

Technical Specifications

Version & Model Difference

The IME08-1B5PSZT0S is part of SICK's IME series, which includes various models with different sensing ranges, output types (PNP/NPN), and connection options. Compared to other IME08 variants, this model features a 1.5 mm sensing range and PNP NO output. Some versions may have a different sensing range (e.g., 2 mm for non-flush) or NPN output. The 'S' in the part number indicates a cable connection with 2-meter length, while other models may have connectors (e.g., M8 plug). Always verify the exact part number for your application requirements.
