RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor, M18 x 1 NPN 30V 5 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 5mm Maximum Detection, M18x1 Thread size - 1050860

This proximity sensor detects the presence of metallic objects without contact and is designed for industrial automation environments. Housed in a threaded M18 barrel with a metal finish, it provides a Compact solution for shut‑off, detection and monitoring tasks in machinery and control systems. The device delivers a shielded NPN output via an attached cable and is suitable for installations requiring a flush mount.

Features and Benefits:

• 5mm sensing distance for close-range detection
  IP67 enclosure for protection against dust and water ingress
  1kHz switching frequency for Rapid response in dynamic systems
  200mA switching current to drive control inputs directly
  Operates from 30V DC supply for standard control voltages
  Rated for -25°C to 75°C to tolerate varied industrial temperatures

Applications

• Suitable for presence detection on conveyor guides
  Ideal for end‑of‑travel sensing on linear actuators
  Used for object counting in packaging machinery
  Can be used for position feedback on pneumatic cylinders
  Used with control panels requiring flush sensor mounting

What electrical connection does it use for integration?

It is fitted with a factory‑attached cable termination for direct wiring into control systems and field harnesses.

How is the sensor mounted to ensure correct alignment?
