SICK Proximity Sensor, 32mm Length, M8 x 1 Thread Size - 1113864
This proximity sensor is a compact, stainless-steel, cylindrical inductive switch designed for flush mounting in industrial automation. It detects metallic and plastic targets at close range, operates from a 10V to 30V DC supply and delivers a PNP normally-open output via a 3‑wire cable. Robust sealing and a short-body form factor suit it to harsh environments and confined assemblies.
Features & Benefits
• IP68 and IP69K sealing for washdown and pressurised cleaning
• Operates at temperatures from −40°C to 100°C for hot usage
• 2mm sensing range provides precise close-proximity detection
• 4kHz switching frequency for fast-response switching requirements
• 200mA continuous current supports moderate load switching
• Shielded flush design prevents stray activation in tight installations
**Applications**
• Suitable for coolant-laden machining zones requiring sealed sensors
• Ideal for mobile machinery with Compact mounting constraints
• Used for plastic component detection on automated conveyors
• Can be used for proximity monitoring in high-temperature process lines
• Used with control systems needing fast, repeatable switching signals
What cable and connection format does it use for wiring?
It is supplied with a 2m PUR‑insulated cable wired as a DC three-wire PNP arrangement for direct connection to PLC or control inputs.
How is the device protected against installation wiring errors?
Electrical protection includes reverse-polarity, short‑circuit and power-up Pulse protection to reduce wiring-related failures.
What materials comprise the sensing face and housing?
The housing is stainless steel V2A (AISI 303) while the sensing face is plastic (LCP) to combine mechanical strength with consistent sensing behaviour.
How does the sensor perform under mechanical stress?
It withstands high shock and vibration levels including 100g/11ms pulses and extended vibration endurance up to 1 million cycles.
