1070526

Overview

The SICK model 1070526 is a MZT7-03VPS-KRD proximity sensor. It features a rectangular, short housing design with dimensions of 40 mm x 40 mm x 66 mm. The device operates as a PNP normally open switch with a guaranteed switching distance (Sa) of 16.2 mm and a nominal switching distance (Sn) of 10 mm. It utilizes an M8, 3-pin connector for connection and offers a switching frequency of 100 Hz. The unit provides IP65 and IP67 protection ratings and supports flush mounting in metal.

Feature Summary

• Compact rectangular housing design suitable for space-constrained installations
• Reliable detection of metallic targets with guaranteed switching distance
• Integrated LED status indicator for visual monitoring
• Robust construction with high ingress protection ratings

Applications

• Automated assembly line positioning
• Packaging machine object detection
• Material handling system limit sensing
• Industrial automation safety interlocks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm cable length, connector type, and material composition. Ensure the application environment temperature does not exceed the maximum ambient operating limit of 80 °C. Confirm that the PNP output logic aligns with the control system input requirements. Check for compatibility with the required M8 connector mating interfaces.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact form factor is required for tight installation spaces. Choose this variant for applications involving metallic target detection where precise switching distances are critical. Consider the M8 connector option if quick replacement or modular cabling is preferred over fixed cable lengths. Evaluate the IP67 rating suitability for washdown environments.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MZT7 series of proximity sensors from SICK. The series is characterized by its small footprint and versatility in industrial sensing applications. The MZT7 series typically includes various output types and connection options to accommodate different machine design constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official SICK documentation for direct cross-references. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical pinouts before substituting with other models.
