Sick IM18-08NCP-ZW1 inductive sensor
The Sick IM18-08NCP-ZW1 is a cylindrical M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation tasks. It offers an 8 mm sensing range with a safe operating distance of 6.48 mm and a 300 Hz switching frequency. The sensor operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and provides configurable PNP or NPN output with NC or NO function via a 2 m PVC cable. Its nickel-plated brass housing meets IP67 protection requirements.
Suited for non-flush mounting in metal environments
This sensor suits applications requiring non-flush installation where a threaded M18 x 1 housing fits the mechanical design. The wire-configurable output allows flexible integration into existing DC 4-wire control circuits. It is not intended for flush-mounting setups or situations demanding a sensing distance beyond 8 mm. Users needing a different thread size, connector type, or higher switching frequency should consider alternative models.
8 mm range with 6.48 mm safe operating distance
The sensor reliably detects metal targets within 8 mm, with a guaranteed safe sensing range of 6.48 mm accounting for temperature drift and hysteresis. Continuous load current is rated at 100 mA with a voltage drop of 1.2 V. Operating temperature spans –25 °C to +70 °C, and the unit withstands 30 g shock and 10–55 Hz vibration. The 200 ms power-up delay and 30 mA current consumption define the response limits for high-speed cycling.

Questions about this item
Does the IM18-08NCP-ZW1 need a 10–30 V DC supply to operate?
Yes, it requires a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with ripple below 10 % and draws no more than 30 mA before the load.
Can the M18 × 1 thread and 37 mm thread length replace an older M18 sensor directly?
The housing uses an M18 × 1 thread with a 37 mm thread length; match those dimensions and the 60 mm housing length to your existing mounting hole.
How do I confirm the 8 mm sensing range is working after wiring the 4-wire cable?
Bring a metal target to 6.48 mm — the safe sensing range — and verify the output switches; the yellow LED on the sensor body also indicates the switching state.
