- Detects objects up to 800 mm away
- Infrared LED with narrow 2.8° dispersion angle
- Adjustable sensing distance via potentiometer
- IP67-rated metal housing for harsh environments
- Operates reliably from –25 °C to +70 °C
Industrial proximity sensor
The Sick VTE18-4N8140 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor designed for industrial automation tasks that require non-contact object detection. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply and provides an NPN switching output with selectable light or dark switching via a control cable. The metal brass nickel-plated housing meets IP67 enclosure rating for harsh environments.
Sustained operation stability
The sensor maintains consistent detection across its 10 mm to 700 mm sensing range with a 2.8° angle of dispersion and a 2 ms response time. Power consumption stays at 30 mA with supply ripple limited to 10 %, ensuring stable performance during continuous duty cycles. The infrared LED light source and PMMA optics resist degradation across the –25 °C to +70 °C operating temperature range.
800 mm maximum sensing reach
The decisive specification is the 800 mm maximum sensing range, which defines the furthest distance at which the sensor can reliably detect a target under ideal conditions. Applications needing longer reach or a different output type such as PNP will require an alternative sensor model.

Questions about this item
How much heat or power does the VTE18-4N8140 draw when running continuously?
It consumes 30 mA from a 10–30 V DC supply with a 2 ms response time, and operates from –25 °C to +70 °C.
What power supply and connector must I already have to use this sensor?
You need a 10–30 V DC source and a 4-pin M12 male connector to match the sensor’s connection type.
Will the VTE18-4N8140 work alongside older 24 V DC control gear I’m keeping?
Yes, its 10–30 V DC supply range and NPN light/dark switching output are compatible with typical 24 V DC systems.
