The IM18-10BPS-NC1 Proximity Sensor from Sick is designed for flush installation with a robust M18 x 1 cylindrical thread housing and a compact Ø 18 mm diameter. It delivers a stable sensing range of 10 mm and a safe sensing range of 8.1 mm, offering accurate detection even in fast-paced or vibration-prone setups.
Engineered with a DC 3-wire system and PNP NO output, it operates at a rapid 300 Hz switching frequency—ideal for conveyor systems, indexing tables, or high-speed machinery. Its M12, 4-pin male connector enables secure, quick integration with standard PLCs and control units. The sensing face and mounting nuts are made of V4A stainless steel, making the sensor resistant to cleaning agents, steam, and mechanical wear. Rated IP68 and IP69K, it performs reliably in washdown zones and harsh factory environments.
Smart features like the visual adjustment indicator and IO-Link compatibility allow for easy alignment and real-time data diagnostics—empowering maintenance engineers to reduce downtime through predictive alerts. Each unit includes locking nuts and washers with teeth to prevent loosening during vibration. The Sick IM18-10BPS-NC1 Proximity Sensor meets global automation standards and can be deployed confidently across food, pharma, packaging, and process industries.
The Proximity Sensor model IM18-10BPS-NC1 is perfectly suited for Indian manufacturing environments that demand rugged, compact, and hygienic sensing solutions. In the food and pharmaceutical sectors, this sensor resists high-pressure washdowns and chemicals, ensuring uninterrupted operation in cleanroom and washdown zones.
On CNC machinery or automotive lines, it is flush-mounted for tool detection or part presence monitoring, ensuring safety interlocks and cycle precision. With its 300 Hz switching frequency, the sensor tracks rapid movements in packaging lines, bottling plants, or filling systems without false triggering. The inclusion of IO-Link makes it compatible with modern smart factory systems—enabling parameterization, real-time diagnostics, and predictive maintenance.
For maintenance engineers, system integrators, and automation OEMs looking to boost reliability in harsh environments, the Sick IM18-10BPS-NC1 Proximity Sensor delivers high performance, reduced downtime, and future-ready connectivity. This is the sensor of choice for industries requiring a dependable and intelligent Proximity Sensor.
