Sensing Range and Output
The Sick CM18-08BNP-TW0 is a capacitive proximity sensor with an NPN complementary switching output. It detects objects at a sensing range of 3 mm to 8 mm with a safe sensing range of 5.76 mm. The cylindrical M18 x 1 threaded housing allows flush installation in industrial environments.
Sustained Operation Characteristics
Under continuous load the sensor operates on a 10 V DC to 36 V DC supply with a maximum continuous current of 200 mA. A switching frequency of ±30 Hz and a time delay before availability of 100 ms support steady cyclic detection. The IP67 enclosure rating and an ambient operating temperature of –25 °C to +60 °C maintain performance in harsh conditions.
Decisive Specification
The NPN complementary output function determines compatibility with your control circuit sinking requirements. Sensitivity is adjustable via a 270° potentiometer for precise application tuning. The 2 m PVC cable with 0.34 mm² conductors provides the electrical connection.
