Sick IMB08-02BPSVTOK Inductive Proximity Sensor

The inductive proximity sensor, also known as induction sensor, proximity switch, or non-contact switch, with type number IMB08-02BPSVTOK from Sick is an electrical proximity sensor for the non-contact detection of metallic objects. It has dimensions of 2 x 2 x 5 cm and weighs 0.01 kg. Inductive proximity sensors are used for the non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial environments by utilizing an electromagnetic field and registering changes when a metallic object approaches. They detect objects precisely without mechanical wear and are insensitive to dirt. Typical applications include position monitoring of machine parts in automation technology and presence control of workpieces in conveyor technology.
