SICK VTE18-3E4440 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor NPN
Photoelectric proximity sensor detects objects from 5 mm to 350 mm with NPN output and IP67 rating
- NPN switching output suits common PLC inputs
- Infrared LED detects objects from 5 mm to 350 mm
- Adjustable sensing range via potentiometer for flexible setup
- IP67 metal housing withstands dust and water immersion
- Operates reliably from –25 °C to +70 °C
Industrial proximity sensor for automated lines
The SICK VTE18-3E4440 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with an angled light emission design. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with NPN switching output and light switching mode. The M12 4-pin male connector enables straightforward integration into industrial control systems for object detection tasks.
Consistent detection across temperature extremes
Infrared LED emission with a 2.8° dispersion angle provides a sensing range from 5 mm to 350 mm, extending to 400 mm maximum. The 2 ms response time supports reliable switching on fast-moving lines. Brass nickel-plated metal housing and IP67 enclosure rating maintain performance across –25 °C to +70 °C operating temperatures without degradation.
Replaces sensors needing tighter alignment
The potentiometer adjustment simplifies setup compared to fixed-range alternatives. Builders requiring AC supply voltages, PNP output logic, or different connector types cannot use this model. The UL file NMFT2.E175606 listing supports compliance needs for North American panel builds.

Questions about this item
How much power does the VTE18-3E4440 draw during continuous operation?
The sensor consumes 30 mA at the supply voltage, so heat and electrical load stay low even when running all day.
What supply voltage and connector must I already have to wire this sensor?
You need a 10 V DC to 30 V DC source and a mating 4-pin M12 male connector for the sensor's connection.
Will the brass nickel-plated housing and IP67 rating survive the same industrial environment as my older metal-bodied sensors?
Yes, the metal housing and IP67 enclosure rating provide comparable protection against dust, water and temperature extremes from –25 °C to +70 °C.
