- Operates from 10 V to 30 V DC supply voltage
- Nickel-plated brass housing withstands –25 °C to +75 °C environments
M8 Inductive Sensor for Metal Detection
The Sick IME08-1B5NOZW2S is an NPN inductive proximity sensor with a cylindrical M8 x 1 threaded housing. It detects metal targets at a sensing range of 1.5 mm with a safe sensing range of 1.215 mm. The flush-mount design suits industrial automation and position-sensing tasks where a compact metal sensor is required. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with a 4,000 Hz switching frequency.
IP67 Protection and Temperature Range
The nickel-plated brass housing and PA 66 sensing face meet IP67 enclosure rating for dust and water ingress protection. Operating temperature spans –25 °C to +75 °C, while shock resistance is rated at 30 g for 11 ms and vibration resistance at 10 Hz to 55 Hz with 1 mm amplitude. Current consumption is 10 mA with a 200 mA continuous output current and a 2 V voltage drop. EMC compliance follows EN 60947-5-2.
2 m PVC Cable with Three-Wire Output
A 2 m PVC cable of 3.9 mm diameter and 0.25 mm² conductors provides the DC three-wire connection. The output function is normally closed (NC) with NPN switching logic. Built-in protections include short-circuit, reverse polarity and power-up pulse suppression. The sensor carries UL file number NRKH.E181493 and requires a maximum tightening torque of 5 Nm during installation.

Questions about this item
How do I install the M8 x 1 threaded sensor and what step is often missed?
Mount the 8 mm cylindrical housing flush using the 34 mm thread length and tighten to a maximum of 5 Nm; the step often missed is verifying the 1.5 mm sensing range after tightening because over-torquing shifts the sensing face.
What maintenance or replacement will the sensor need later?
The PVC cable with 0.25 mm² conductors and 3.9 mm diameter can degrade from repeated flexing or UV exposure; inspect it periodically and replace the entire unit if the insulation cracks because the cable is not user-replaceable.
What limit appears first during continuous operation?
The 200 mA continuous current rating is the first limit under sustained load; exceeding it triggers the short-circuit protection and drops the output, so keep the load below 200 mA even though the switching frequency reaches 4,000 Hz.
