Proximity Sensors

IME18-12NPPZC0S Application Field and Working Principle

As a type of proximity sensor, the IME18-12NPPZC0S is an inductive sensor designed for non-contact detection of metal objects. Applications include liquid level control, detection of machine parts, position control, and process automation. This particular proximity sensor is enclosed in stainless steel and is waterproof.

The working principle of the IME18-12NPPZC0S is based on Faraday’s Law, which states that a changing magnetic field induces an electric field. The sensor has an inductive coil which produces an alternating electromagnetic field in the presence of a metal target. When a metallic target enters the field, the generated electric current transfers energy into the metallic target, thereby inducing an eddy current within the target. This in turn generates a magnetic field, which is detected by the sensor, resulting in an output signal.

The frequency and voltage produced by the sensor are adjustable between 10 and 20 kHz and 15-30 VDC respectively. Additionally, the sensitivity can be adjusted to account for different target objects. The IME18-12NPPZC0S is particularly suitable for detecting objects such as aluminum, copper, nickel and ferrous metals with a detection range of 2.5-6mm. Furthermore, its stainless steel housing allows for resistance to vibration, dust, and oil.

The IME18-12NPPZC0S is an all-in-one sensor, meaning it can be used for both detection and positioning tasks. Its rugged construction and adjustable settings make it a popular choice for industrial environments, especially those operating in the presence of metal parts or objects. With its adjustable settings, the sensor is capable of detecting metallic objects of various shapes and sizes, which makes it a versatile choice for a range of applications.

In conclusion, the IME18-12NPPZC0S is a type of proximity sensor designed for use in industrial settings. This particular proximity sensor works on Faraday’s Law and is adjustable to account for different target objects, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications, such as liquid level control, detection of machine parts, and position control. Thanks to its robust stainless steel construction, it provides a good resistance towards vibration, dust, and oil.
