4083296

Overview

The SICK 4083296 is an inductive proximity sensor from the IQY series, designed for industrial automation. It features a slim rectangular housing with dimensions of 5 mm x 5 mm x 25 mm. The device operates on a DC 3-wire circuit and provides a switching distance ranging from 0.8 mm to 4 mm. It offers IP67 or IP68 protection ratings and functions within a temperature range of -25 °C to +75 °C. The sensor utilizes VISTAL™ housing material and includes a 270-degree output status display for visual verification.

Feature Summary

• Slim rectangular design enables integration into narrow spaces such as linear units
• VISTAL™ housing construction ensures durability against industrial challenges
• 270-degree output status display allows for easy visual monitoring
• Thermoplastic molding supports reliable detection in confined areas

Applications

• Integration into linear motion units
• Detection tasks in restricted installation spaces
• Automated handling processes requiring precise positioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact switching distance and electrical connection type required for the application. Ensure the selected variant matches the necessary IP rating (IP67 or IP68) for the operating environment. Confirm compatibility with the control system's voltage requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when space constraints prevent the use of standard cylindrical sensors. The 5 mm x 5 mm footprint is critical for tight mounting situations. Evaluate the required switching distance within the 0.8 mm to 4 mm range to ensure proper target detection. Consider the environmental conditions to determine if the VISTAL™ housing suffices or if metal housing variants are needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK IQY series of inductive proximity sensors. The series is characterized by its ultra-slim form factor, allowing for high-density mounting arrangements. It is engineered for modern automation tasks where traditional sensor sizes are impractical due to spatial limitations in machinery design.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacement requires matching the 5 mm x 5 mm x 25 mm housing dimensions and the 3-wire DC electrical interface. Verify that the new unit supports the same switching distance range and IP protection level. Cross-reference with other SICK IQY models to ensure functional equivalence.
