Inductive Proximity Sensors – IMA18-20NE1ZC0K

The IMA18-20NE1ZC0K is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor designed for precise analog distance measurement in automation and industrial applications. Featuring a robust M18 x 1 threaded housing, it offers an extended 20 mm sensing range for non-flush installation, enabling detection of metallic targets with excellent repeatability and resolution.

This sensor provides an analog output and is ideal for applications requiring continuous measurement rather than simple on/off detection. It boasts high repeatability (± 0.05 mm with constant ambient temperature) and a fine resolution of ≤ 5 µm, making it suitable for tasks like positioning, wear detection, and tolerance monitoring.

Engineered with an IP67-rated enclosure, it is built to withstand tough industrial environments. The sensor also includes a triple sensing range feature, providing greater flexibility and reducing inventory needs.
