SICK Ultrasonic Threaded Barrel Proximity Sensor, M18, 1 m Detection 4-20 mA, 10 → 30 V dc

This ultrasonic proximity sensor is designed for a variety of industrial automation tasks. With a compact cylindrical metal housing measuring 18mm in diameter and 52.7mm in length, it provides robust performance in demanding environments. The sensor operates effectively across a detection range of 120mm to 1m, making it ideal for precise distance measurement and object detection.

• Ultrasonic sensor technology ensures accurate readings regardless of target material
• 4-20mA output provides compatibility with standard industrial systems
• IP65 and IP67 ratings guarantee protection against dust and water ingress
• Withstands extreme temperatures from -25°C to +70°C
• Reverse polarity protection prevents damage during incorrect wiring
• Short circuit overload protection enhances reliability and safety

• Ideal for level measurement in tanks and containers
• Fits requiring distance measurement in harsh environments
• Utilised in robotic systems for effective spatial awareness
• Suitable for logistics and material handling processes

The typical response time is 80ms, allowing for quick updates in real-time measurement applications.

The temperature compensation can be adjusted to ensure consistent accuracy, minimising errors caused by environmental fluctuations.

Operation requires a DC voltage supply within the range of 10V to 30V for proper functionality.

Yes, it can synchronise with up to 20 sensors, enabling multiple installations without crosstalk interference.
