SICK IM05-1B5PSVT0S – IMM Series Inductive Proximity Sensor

Technical Overview

The IM05-1B5PSVT0S from SICK’s IMM series is a high-performance, flush-mount inductive proximity sensor engineered for precise detection in compact installations:

• Small, Robust Design: Compact, cylindrical stainless steel housing (Ø 5 mm, M5 × 0.5 thread) ensures durability and easy integration, with a total length of 38 mm and threaded section of 22 mm.

• Optimal Sensing Performance: Detects targets up to 1.5 mm (standard), with a safe sensing range of 1.215 mm.

Electrical and Output Characteristics

• Supply Voltage: Operates between 10–30 V DC (≤ 20 % ripple).

• Output Configuration: PNP, Normally Open (NO) switching output via a 3-wire DC arrangement (connector: M8, 3-pin).

• Current & Voltage Profile: Low current consumption (≤ 10 mA no-load), voltage drop ≤ 2 V at 200 mA.

• High-Speed Switching: Fast switching capability at up to 3 kHz, enabling responsive detection cycles.

Durability & Environmental Specs

• Protection & Compliance: IP67-rated enclosure (dust-tight, water-resistant) compliant with EN 60529.

• Environmental Resistance:

  • Operating temperature: –25 °C to +70 °C.

  • Vibration & impact tolerance: 30 g shock, 10–55 Hz vibration.

  • Equipped for EMC resilience (EN 60947-5-2, IEC 61000-4-2 level 2, IEC 61000-4-4 level 3).

• Built-in Protection: Features short-circuit and reverse polarity protection.

Mechanical & Installation Details

• Housing & Face Material: Stainless Steel (V2A, AISI 303) body; POM plastic sensing face.

• Mounting Hardware: Includes two stainless-steel mounting nuts and toothed washers for secure placement.

• Torque Specification: Max tightening torque of ≤ 1.8 Nm.

Reliability & Certifications

• Safety Metrics: MTTFD (Mean Time To Dangerous Fault) of 186 years; mission time (TM) rating of 20 years.

• Regulatory Compliance: Includes UL file and conformity with EU, UK, ACMA, and China-RoHS declarations.

Typical Applications

Ideal for space-constrained environments requiring reliable object detection, such as singulation conveyors, automated material handling, or packaging systems.
