Sick VTF18-3E5312 Photoelectric proximity sensor NPN
Detects objects up to 45 mm using infrared light with a potentiometer-adjusted NPN output in a nickel-plated brass housing rated IP67
- IP67 enclosure rating protects against dust and water ingress
- 10–30 V DC supply voltage fits common industrial power rails
- 45 mm sensing range covers short-distance detection tasks
- Brass nickel-plated metal housing resists mechanical wear
- 2 ms response time enables fast switching cycles
Industrial sensing for tight spaces
The Sick VTF18-3E5312 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with an angled light emission designed for industrial automation. It operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and provides an NPN switching output with light switching mode. The metal brass nickel-plated housing with plastic components meets IP67 enclosure rating for harsh environments.
Sensing range defines the application fit
Maximum sensing range reaches 0 mm to 50 mm while the reliable sensing range covers 0 mm to 45 mm using infrared LED light source. A potentiometer allows adjustment of the detection point. Response time is 2 ms for fast switching in conveyor or positioning tasks.
Compact 60.6 mm housing handles temperature extremes
The sensor functions reliably from –25 °C to +70 °C in both operating and storage conditions. A 2 m PVC cable with 0.14 mm² conductor cross-section and 3.1 mm diameter provides fixed installation. UL file NMFT2.E175606 confirms compliance for North American markets.

Questions about this item
What does the 45 mm sensing range mean when the sensor is mounted on a machine?
It will reliably detect objects up to 45 mm away under normal conditions, with a maximum reach of 50 mm.
How does the NPN switching output affect the wiring?
The output pulls the load to ground when triggered, so the load connects between the supply positive and the sensor output wire.
What mounting clearance does the 60.6 mm cylindrical housing need?
The angled cylindrical body measures 60.6 mm across and requires a hole or bracket that accommodates that diameter plus the 3.1 mm cable exit.
