Sick IME18-05BPSZW2S Inductive Proximity Sensor PNP 5 mm M18x1 2 m Cable IP67
An M18 flush-mount inductive sensor detects metal at 5 mm with a PNP normally-open output on a 2 m PVC cable
- 5 mm sensing range with flush mounting
- PNP normally-open output on 10–30 V DC supply
- IP67 nickel-plated brass housing resists dust and water
- 1,000 Hz switching frequency for fast detection
- 2 m PVC cable with 3 × 0.25 mm² conductors
Flush-mount M18 inductive sensor
The Sick IME18-05BPSZW2S is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with a flush mounting style and a 5 mm sensing range. Its PNP normally-open output suits DC control circuits that need a positive switching signal. The 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply range fits standard industrial power rails. This sensor targets automation engineers who need reliable metal detection at close range.
IP67 enclosure and 1000 Hz switching
The IP67-rated nickel-plated brass housing resists dust and temporary immersion while operating between –25 °C and +75 °C. A 1000 Hz switching frequency supports fast cycling applications. Current consumption sits at 10 mA with a 200 mA continuous output capability. Voltage drop stays at or below 2 V and the unit tolerates up to 10 % supply ripple.
2 m PVC cable and 40 Nm tightening torque
A 2 m three-wire PVC cable with 0.25 mm² conductors exits the housing for direct wiring without separate connectors. The M18 x 1 thread length is 52 mm and the maximum tightening torque is 40 Nm. Short-circuit, reverse-polarity and power-up pulse protection are built in. The sensor carries UL file NRKH.E181493 and meets EN 60947-5-2 EMC requirements.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the M18×1 flush sensor and what torque mistake should I avoid?
Thread the nickel-plated brass barrel into an M18×1 cut-out until the 52 mm thread length seats flush, then tighten to no more than 40 Nm — exceeding that torque can deform the housing and shift the 5 mm sensing face.
Which part of the 2 m PVC cable will likely need attention first in a high-vibration line?
The Ø 3.9 mm PVC jacket and 0.25 mm² conductors at the cable-entry point absorb the 30 g shock and 10–55 Hz vibration; inspect that strain-relief area regularly and replace the cable if the jacket cracks or conductors fatigue.
At what ambient temperature does the 5 mm sensing range drift beyond the 4.05 mm safe zone?
Temperature drift is ±10 % of the sensing range, so at the extremes of –25 °C or +75 °C the effective range can shift by 0.5 mm, pushing the reliable detection limit past the 4.05 mm safe sensing distance.
