1072331

Overview

The SICK part number 1072331 corresponds to the MZT7-03VPS-KRD, a proximity sensor from the MZT7 series. This device is configured for PNP/NO output with a sensing range of 10 mm. It features an M8 connector with 3 pins and includes a 0.3 m cable length. The housing material is designed for industrial environments, offering protection ratings of IP65 and IP67. The operational temperature limit is specified at 80 °C, utilizing PUR cable insulation.

Feature Summary

• Provides reliable detection via PNP NO switching output
• Compact cylindrical design suitable for confined mounting spaces
• Robust construction with high ingress protection against dust and water

Applications

• Automated assembly station positioning
• Packaging machine object detection
• Conveyor belt item presence monitoring

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix KRD confirms the 0.3 m PUR cable with M8 connector. Ensure the application voltage matches the PNP logic requirements. Confirm that the 10 mm sensing distance aligns with the target material reflectivity and mounting geometry. Check for any updated cybersecurity advisories related to SICK sensors if network integration is planned.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a short 10 mm detection range is required in harsh environments. The M8 connector facilitates easy wiring in control cabinets. Consider the MZT7-03VPS-KUB variant if a plug with knurled nut is preferred over a fixed cable. Evaluate the MZT7-03VPS-KQ0 if an M12 interface is necessary for higher pin counts or different locking mechanisms.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MZT7 family of photoelectric and proximity sensors manufactured by SICK AG. The series is characterized by small form factors and versatile connectivity options including M8 and M12 interfaces. These sensors are engineered for integration into automated machinery requiring precise short-range detection capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

MZT7-03VPS-KUB (Part no.: 1082422) offers identical electrical performance but features a plug with knurled nut instead of a fixed cable. MZT7-03VPS-KQ0 (Part no.: 1070833) provides an M12 connector option. Verify cable length and connector type compatibility before substitution.
