Description
The SICK IQ10-03BPSKR8SS14 is a high-reliability inductive proximity switch tailored for industrial automation and control applications that require precise metal object detection in compact spaces. Part of SICK’s IQB family, this sensor incorporates ASIC electronics and a rugged VISTAL® plastic housing for high mechanical and electrical stability. The small rectangular profile (approx. 10 × 16 × 28 mm) and flush-mount design allow easy integration into tight installations without protruding parts.
Inductive technology enables contactless detection of metal targets up to 3 mm away, with repeatable switching and a switching frequency up to 2 kHz for fast automation tasks. The sensor’s PNP normally open output is compatible with common DC PLC inputs and control circuits, and the built-in short-circuit, reverse polarity, and overload protections improve durability and reliability. Rated IP68 against dust and water ingress, and designed for operation between –25 °C and +75 °C, the IQ10-03BPSKR8SS14 performs reliably in harsh industrial environments.
