Sick IME18-05BPSZCOK Inductive Proximity Sensor PNP M18 5 mm
Flush-mount M18 inductive sensor detects metal at 5 mm with PNP output, 1,000 Hz switching and IP67-rated nickel-plated brass housing
- 5 mm sensing range detects metal targets reliably
- PNP normally-open output simplifies PLC wiring
- IP67 rated housing withstands water and dust ingress
- 1,000 Hz switching frequency supports high-speed automation
- Nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in harsh environments
M18 Inductive Sensor for Flush Mounting
The Sick IME18-05BPSZCOK is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with an M18 x 1 thread and a short 50 mm body. It operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC and provides a PNP normally-open output through a 4-pin M12 male connector. The IP67-rated metal housing suits industrial environments where space is limited.
5 mm Sensing Range with 4.05 mm Safe Zone
The sensor detects metal targets at a nominal 5 mm range while the safe sensing range is 4.05 mm. A 1,000 Hz switching frequency supports fast cycling, and reproducibility stays within 2 %. Hysteresis of 5 % to 15 % and temperature drift of ±10 % define the limits of consistent detection.
Nickel-Plated Brass Housing with IP67 Sealing
The nickel-plated brass barrel and PA 66 sensing face withstand 30 g shock and 10 Hz to 55 Hz vibration at 1 mm amplitude. Operating temperature spans –25 °C to +75 °C. The 4-pin M12 connector simplifies wiring, while a maximum tightening torque of 40 Nm secures flush installation.

Questions about this item
Will the M18 x 1 thread and 5 mm sensing range let me mount this sensor in the same bracket as my old M18 unit?
Yes — the housing uses an M18 x 1 thread with a 33 mm thread length and a 5 mm flush sensing range, so it fits existing M18 brackets designed for flush mounting.
How can I confirm the PNP output is switching correctly once wired?
Apply 10–30 V DC, bring a metal target within 4.05 mm of the sensing face, and verify the load switches on; the yellow LED on the connector will also illuminate when the output is active.
Does the box include the M12 4-pin mating cable or must I order it separately?
The sensor ships with a male M12 4-pin connector only; a compatible female M12 cable or field-wireable plug must be purchased separately.
