RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor, M18 PNP 30V 2 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, M18 Thread size, 48mm Length - 1050859

This proximity sensor is an inductive device designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial control and automation settings. It operates from a low-voltage DC supply and is housed in a threaded barrel for Compact integration into machinery and panels. The sensor is suited to harsh environments where ingress protection and cable termination are required.

Features and Benefits:

• Detects metal targets up to 2mm for tight sensing gaps
  Accepts supply up to 30V DC for standard control systems
  PNP output simplifies sourcing Interface with PLC inputs
  Shielded M18 threaded barrel enables flush mounting
  Switching frequency of 1 kHz supports high-speed detection
  Withstands −25 to 75 °C for varied plant conditions

Applications

• Suitable for position sensing on automated assembly lines
  Ideal for proximity detection in pick-and-place equipment
  Used for end-of-travel detection on pneumatic actuators
  Can be used for presence monitoring on conveyor systems
  Used with control cabinets where IP67-rated devices are required

What material is the sensor housing MADE from?

The body is manufactured from brass with a nickel-plated finish to provide a metallised exterior that aids mechanical durability.

How is the sensor electrically terminated for installation?

It is supplied with a cable termination for direct wiring into control systems without additional connectors.

What mounting style does the device use and how does it affect placement?

The unit is a flush-mountable threaded barrel with M18 thread, allowing it to be embedded into metal panels with minimal protrusion.

What are the switching and current-handling characteristics for interfacing?

The sensor switches at up to 1 kHz and can carry switching currents up to 200 mA for direct drive of low-power loads.

Which standards and listings relate to safe use in industrial installations?

The sensor meets EN 60947-5-2 requirements and is cULus listed, and it is RoHS compliant for restricted substances.
