SICK Inductive Barrel Proximity Sensor, M18, 12 mm Detection, NPN NC, 10 → 30 V

The IMG inductive proximity sensor precisely detects metallic objects even in harsh usage environments. In price-sensitive mobile applications and automation solutions, it is suitable as a switch for end position determination of speed measurement. Using the IMG, fault-free processes can be ensured even with high temperature fluctuations. The fully-encapsulated sensor is impervious to mechanical shocks as well as vibrations and with its IP69K rating is protected against water as well as oils, coolants and all kinds of contamination.

This makes the IMG an economical solution for challenging outdoor uses and machine construction. Thanks to plug and play, the sensor can also be commissioned quickly.
