- PNP output simplifies PLC wiring
- 10–30 V DC supply fits common control voltages
- 45 mm sensing range detects close targets
- IP67 rating withstands wash-down and dust
- Brass housing resists industrial wear
Industrial proximity sensor
The Sick VTF18-4P5340 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor designed for industrial automation and machine monitoring. It uses an infrared LED to detect objects at distances up to 45 mm with a maximum range of 50 mm. The metal housing is nickel-plated brass and rated IP67 for harsh environments. A potentiometer allows sensitivity adjustment.
Pre-installation checks
Verify that your control system accepts a PNP switching output and can supply 10 to 30 V DC with ripple below 10 %. The sensor connects via a male M12 4-pin connector; ensure the matching cable is available. Confirm the mounting location accommodates the 75 mm angled housing and that ambient temperatures stay within –25 °C to +70 °C.
Sustained-load behaviour
Power consumption remains at 30 mA during continuous operation. The response time is 2 ms, providing consistent switching speed over long duty cycles. The IP67 enclosure and brass housing resist coolant, oil and dust ingress without degradation. The L/D control cable permits light- or dark-switching selection without interrupting the process.

Questions about this item
What comes with the Sick VTF18-4P5340 sensor and what must I source separately?
The sensor ships as a standalone unit with an M12 4-pin male connector; you will need a compatible M12 4-pin cable or connector block and a 10–30 V DC power supply to complete the installation.
Which sensing range figure should I use when selecting this VTF18-4P5340 model?
The sensor detects objects from 0 mm to 45 mm under normal conditions; the 0–50 mm value is the absolute maximum range.
What does the 2 ms response time mean for my machine cycle?
The output changes state within 2 ms of detecting or losing a target, so the sensor can reliably track objects on production lines moving at typical automation speeds.
