Sick IME08-02BNOZTOS Inductive Proximity Sensor NPN M8 2 mm IP67

Sick M8 Inductive Sensor NPN 2 mm

The Sick IME08-02BNOZTOS is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with an M8 x 1 thread and an 8 mm diameter housing. It detects metal targets at a 2 mm sensing range with a safe operating distance of 1.62 mm. The flush-mount design operates on 10 to 30 V DC and switches at up to 4,000 Hz. An M8 3-pin connector provides the electrical connection.

Suited for flush metal detection small spaces

This sensor suits automated machinery needing flush-mounted metal detection in tight M8 mounting holes where an NPN normally-closed output is required. Builders who need a PNP output, a normally-open function, a longer sensing distance, or a cable connection instead of a connector should look at other models. The fixed 2 mm range also rules out applications needing adjustable detection zones.

Key spec NPN normally-closed output

The single specification that decides fit is the NPN normally-closed switching output, which determines how the sensor signals a target to the control system. An NPN output pulls the signal line low when metal is absent and releases it when metal enters the 2 mm range. Controllers wired for PNP logic or for normally-open behaviour will not work with this device without circuit changes.
