Product catalog summary
Product Overview
This document provides a detailed overview of proximity sensors offered by SICK, including inductive, capacitive, and magnetic sensors. It covers specifications, applications, and technical details for each sensor type.
Inductive Proximity Sensors
These sensors are divided into families such as IMM, IME, IMB, IMF, and IMI, tailored for specific industrial uses. They feature cylindrical housings with thread sizes from M4 to M30 and sensing ranges from 0.6 mm to 40 mm. Available in materials like stainless steel and nickel-plated brass, they have enclosure ratings up to IP 69K, making them suitable for harsh environments and food industry applications. Features include IO-Link readiness and resistance to oils and cleaning agents.
Inductive Safety Switches
Models like IN3000 and IN4000 are designed for safety applications with sensing ranges up to 45 mm. They are constructed with metal housings and suitable for direct and standard applications.
Capacitive Proximity Sensors
Used for detecting powders, granules, liquids, and solids, models like CM and CQ offer sensing ranges up to 25 mm and are available with PTFE coatings for specific applications.
Magnetic Proximity Sensors
Including the MM and MQ series, these sensors are designed for magnetic detection with sensing ranges up to 120 mm.
Technical Data Overview
The document provides detailed technical specifications for each sensor type, including housing design, thread size, sensing range, electrical wiring options, housing material, and enclosure ratings. Key features such as temperature range, material compatibility, and application suitability are highlighted.
