Sick VTF18-3P5412 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor PNP

SKU CH-0KB7-EGJ1Z

Photoelectric proximity sensor detects objects up to 50 mm with PNP dark-switching output and IP67-rated metal housing

  • Detects objects up to 45 mm with infrared LED
  • PNP dark-switching output responds in 2 ms
  • Nickel-plated brass housing rated IP67 for harsh environments
  • Operates reliably from –25 °C to +70 °C
  • 2 m PVC cable with 0.14 mm² conductors simplifies wiring

SICK VTF18-3P5412 proximity sensor

The SICK VTF18-3P5412 is a photoelectric proximity sensor with a PNP dark-switching output. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with a maximum power consumption of 30 mA. The unit is designed for industrial automation tasks requiring reliable object detection at close range. Its compact cylindrical housing suits installations where space is limited.

Brass nickel-plated housing with IP67 rating

The sensor features a metal housing made of brass nickel-plated material combined with plastic, rated IP67 for dust and water protection. A 2 m PVC cable with a 3.1 mm diameter and 0.14 mm² conductor cross-section provides the connection. The angled light emission and potentiometer adjustment allow straightforward alignment during setup. Operating temperatures span –25 °C to +70 °C.

Replaces basic inductive or mechanical switches

This sensor upgrades from simple mechanical limit switches or inductive sensors that lack optical detection capability. The infrared LED light source and 2 ms response time suit applications needing non-contact sensing up to 45 mm. The jump is worthwhile when the environment demands IP67 sealing and a robust metal housing that resists vibration and contamination.

Questions about this item

What voltage range does the VTF18-3P5412 sensor operate on?

The sensor runs on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with a maximum ripple of 10 %.

What are the housing dimensions and cable length of this sensor?

The cylindrical angled housing measures 60.6 mm and the fixed PVC cable is 2 m long with a 3.1 mm diameter.

How do I set the sensing distance on the VTF18-3P5412?

Turn the built-in potentiometer while the target is at the desired distance; the sensor switches on dark, so adjust until the output changes at 45 mm maximum range.
