Inductive Proximity Sensors

The economic standard for use in industrial environments
SICK’s inductive sensors offer precise detection, less downtime and a long service life. The inductive IME sensors pack high technology into the smallest of spaces. The integrated ASIC chip enables digital adjustment after the end of the manufacturing process.

Easily and reliably detecting double films
Detecting double layers in film stack processes, e.g. in battery production, is a huge challenge. The new IDF double film sensors reliably detect whether a suction gripper has picked up one or several films and ensure that the unwanted double film is immediately sorted out.

The simple and intelligent way of speed monitoring
The SAM sensor is the simple and intelligent way of speed monitoring with an additional IO-Link interface. SAM can be used as a classic speed monitor or innovative acceleration monitor with a revolutionary speed-independent monitoring function.

The economic standard for use in industrial environments
The IQE sensors are the economic standard for all types of automation task. They combine compact design with precise detection, high reliability, and a good price-performance ratio.

High-pressure-resistant sensors for hydraulic applications
The inductive, high-pressure-resistant IMP sensors are perfectly suited for the query of end positions in hydraulic cylinders.

Flat rectangular housings for use in industrial environments
When space is tight, the flat design of the IQV sensors are the best choice. Thanks to a low height, they can be easily integrated into applications where space is critical and allow a high degree of freedom when it comes to machine design.

NAMUR sensors for explosive zones
Safe detection in ATEX areas. The IMN sensors are available for this due to their high quality and reliability. No whether in category 1G or 2G, the NAMUR sensors from SICK are perfectly suited for explosion-hazardous areas.

Four times the switching capability with inductive intelligence
The inductive, intelligent, and, thanks to IO-Link 1.1, communication-enabled IMC proximity sensors offer a whole host of new options to make handling applications easier and more reliable in every industry.

The economical standard for use in industrial environments
SICK’s inductive sensors offer precise detection, less downtime, and a long service life. The IMW inductive sensors pack high technology into the smallest of spaces. The integrated ASIC chip enables digital adjustment after the end of the manufacturing process.

Reduction factor 1 sensors for welding applications
The IMR inductive proximity sensors are not the least bothered by magnetic interference fields or weld spatter, such as arise in resistance welding applications.

Rugged full metal sensors for use in challenging applications
In contrast to conventional proximity sensors, whose sensing face consists of plastic, the IMI inductive proximity sensors have a closed housing made completely of stainless steel.

Miniature sensors for industrial applications
Minimal space requirements paired with maximum performance characterize the IMM inductive proximity sensors. They allow the highest level of miniaturization without compromise. Thanks to the 3-fold sensing range up to 6 mm, IMM devices detect objects from a greater distance than before.

Rugged sensors for use in mobile machines
The IMS inductive proximity sensors combine tried-and-tested, rugged SICK mechanics with advanced electronics. With the E1 type approval by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority, the sensors are especially well-suited for use in mobile machines.

Analog sensors with triple sensing range for use in industrial environments
The IMA inductive analog sensors give out a current or voltage signal which is in proportional relation to the distance from the sensor to the metal target.

Slim rectangular housings for use in industrial environments
With slim dimensions of just 5 mm x 5 mm or 8 mm x 8 mm, the IQY sensors offer up to 4 mm in sensing range, thereby providing the best performance while taking up the least possible space.

Rectangular miniature sensors for use in industrial environments
The IQM sensors with their rectangular miniature designs are real space-savers. Thanks to the low heights of a minimum of 4.7 mm and fully-integrated electronics, they set new standards and contribute to the miniaturization of modules and machines.

Large rectangular housings for use in industrial environments
With an adjustable sensing range of up to 60 mm, the sensors of the IQL product family offer a high degree of detection ease. Thanks to the freely configurable N/O and N/C output function, they also reduce costs in new and existing applications.

Compact rectangular housings for use in harsh ambient conditions
The IQG sensors can be mounted in a matter of seconds, offer flexible adjustment options, and are easy to monitor. The innovative push-lock system enables mounting without tools in one second flat and makes replacing sensors child's play.

Small rectangular housings for use in industrial environments
Compact design with best-in-class performance. The IQB sensors offer extended sensing ranges of up to 8 mm and state-of-the-art SICK-ASIC technology. Its proven, reliable design with 270° status display is also ideal for more demanding applications.

Inductive sensors for wash down environments
The IMF inductive proximity sensor is the new standard for reliability in the food industry. With its extended sensing ranges, made highly precise thanks to the use of SICK ASIC technology, the IMF ensures reliable, stable processes.

The rugged standard for use in harsh ambient conditions
The inductive IMB proximity sensor is a byword for reliability in harsh working conditions, whether it is in contact with cooling lubricants or being used outdoors.
