Sick VTE18-3E8612 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor PNP 10-800mm M18 Cable 2m IP67
Photoelectric proximity sensor detecting objects from 10 mm to 800 mm with PNP output, 2 m cable and IP67 enclosure
- Detects objects up to 800 mm with infrared LED
- 10–30 V DC supply suits industrial power rails
- PNP light-switching output rated for 100 mA load
- IP67 enclosure resists dust and water ingress
- 2 m PVC cable with 3-wire connection ready to install
Sensing Range 10 to 800 mm
The Sick VTE18-3E8612 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with an M18 thread and 63.6 mm housing length. It detects objects using energetic infrared LED light at distances from 10 mm up to 800 mm. The unit operates on 10 to 30 V DC supply voltage and provides a PNP light-switching output rated at 100 mA. A 2 m PVC cable with three 0.14 mm² conductors handles the connection.
Suited for Fixed-Distance Presence Checks
This sensor suits applications where a non-adjustable sensing field is acceptable and the 100 mA PNP output matches the controller input. It fits M18 mounting holes and withstands ambient temperatures from –25 °C to +70 °C. Buyers who need sensitivity adjustment, a different output type such as NPN or analog, or a connector instead of a fixed cable should look at other models.
IP67 Sealed Plastic Housing
The enclosure meets IP67, protecting the PBT/PC housing and PMMA optics against dust ingress and temporary water immersion. This rating decides whether the sensor survives the intended environment. UL file NMFT2.E175606 confirms the component recognition for relevant safety standards.

Questions about this item
What comes with the sensor and what must I purchase separately?
The unit includes a 2 m PVC cable permanently attached. You will need to supply a 10–30 V DC power source and a compatible mounting bracket for the M18 thread.
How do I choose between the 800 mm maximum and 700 mm sensing range figures?
Use the 800 mm value as the absolute limit under ideal conditions; the 700 mm figure is the practical range for reliable detection in typical applications.
What does the 250 Hz switching frequency mean for my machine cycle?
The sensor can change state up to 250 times per second, so it can reliably detect objects on lines moving fast enough to require a new reading every 4 ms.
