Sick M8 Inductive Proximity Sensor
The Sick IME08-1B5NSZW2S is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation and electrician applications. It detects metal objects without physical contact using an NPN normally open output. The nickel-plated brass housing carries an IP67 enclosure rating for harsh environments.
1.5 mm Flush Mount Sensing Range
The decisive specification is the 1.5 mm nominal sensing range with flush installation capability. This short range suits precise position detection of metal targets in confined spaces. A 4,000 Hz switching frequency supports high-speed counting or presence verification tasks.
200 mA Output with 2 m Cable
The sensor supplies up to 200 mA continuous current through a 2 metre PVC cable with 0.25 mm² conductors. It operates reliably from 10 to 30 V DC across a –25 °C to +75 °C temperature span. The 1.215 mm safe sensing range defines the reliable detection zone.

Questions about this item
What does the 1.5 mm sensing range mean when the sensor is mounted in a metal fixture?
The 1.5 mm rated sensing range applies to a standard target; the safe sensing range is 1.215 mm to ensure reliable detection despite temperature drift and manufacturing tolerances.
How does the 4,000 Hz switching frequency limit the speed of objects I can detect?
A 4,000 Hz switching frequency allows the sensor to change state up to 4,000 times per second, so it can reliably detect targets passing at intervals of 0.25 ms or longer.
Will the M8 x 1 thread and 34 mm thread length fit my existing mounting hole?
The sensor uses an M8 x 1 thread with a 34 mm thread length and requires a 52 mm overall housing clearance; maximum tightening torque is 5 Nm.
