Sick IME18-05BNOZC0K inductive proximity sensor NPN PNP
M18 flush-mount inductive sensor detects metal at 5 mm, 10–30 V DC, IP67, 1,000 Hz switching
- Detects metal at 5 mm flush range
- Switches up to 1000 Hz for fast cycles
- NPN normally-closed output simplifies wiring
- IP67 rated for wet and dusty environments
- Operates from –25 °C to +75 °C
Industrial detection sensor
The Sick IME18-05BNOZC0K is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor built for industrial automation. Its M18 × 1 threaded metal housing measures 50 mm in length and installs flush for a low profile. The unit operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC and carries an IP67 enclosure rating for harsh environments.
5 mm sensing range
The sensor detects metal targets at a nominal range of 5 mm with a safe operating distance of 4.05 mm. Switching frequency reaches 1,000 Hz and hysteresis stays between 5 % and 15 %. Output is NPN normally closed with a 200 mA continuous current rating and built-in short-circuit protection.
M12 connector integration
A 4-pin M12 male connector provides the DC 3-wire interface, simplifying wiring in control cabinets. The nickel-plated brass housing and PA 66 sensing face withstand –25 °C to +75 °C ambient temperatures. Maximum tightening torque is 40 Nm, so installers need a suitable wrench. The sensor suits automated lines needing reliable metal detection but does not serve applications requiring non-metallic sensing or longer range.

Questions about this item
How far will the 5 mm sensing range actually trigger in a metal fixture?
The safe sensing distance is 4.05 mm, so the sensor reliably detects metal targets up to that gap in a mounted fixture.
What does the M12 4-pin connector limit for switching speed?
The connector carries the DC 3-wire signal; the sensor itself switches at 1,000 Hz, which is the practical speed limit.
Will the M18 x 1 thread with 33 mm length fit my existing bracket?
The sensor needs an M18 clearance hole, 33 mm of thread engagement, and a 50 mm overall body length; maximum tightening torque is 40 Nm.
