4107724

Overview

The SICK part number 4107724 corresponds to the IQ40-20BPSKC0K, a square-shaped inductive proximity sensor from the IQ standard series. It features a short housing design with dimensions of 40 mm x 40 mm x 66 mm. The device operates with a switching distance (Sn) of 20 mm and a secured switching distance (Sa) of 16.2 mm. It supports flush installation in metal and utilizes a PNP normally open output function. The electrical configuration is DC 3-wire, and it connects via a rotatable M12, 4-pin connector. The unit offers an IP67 protection rating and a switching frequency of 100 Hz.

Feature Summary

• Provides reliable object detection for metallic targets using inductive sensing technology.
• Features a compact square housing designed for space-constrained industrial environments.
• Includes a rotatable M12 connector to facilitate flexible cable routing during installation.

Applications

• Automated material handling systems requiring precise position detection
• Industrial machinery safety and process control monitoring
• Factory automation lines utilizing standardized sensor mounting

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete ordering code matches the required specifications before purchase. Confirm that the M12 connector orientation and cable length requirements align with your system design. Ensure the voltage supply matches the DC 3-wire PNP configuration. Check for any specific environmental certifications needed for your facility's compliance standards.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, metal-flushable inductive sensor is required for high-cycle applications. The 20 mm switching distance suits medium-range detection tasks. Consider the IP67 rating for environments exposed to dust or occasional water jets. The PNP output ensures compatibility with standard PLC inputs commonly found in modern industrial controllers.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IQ40 series by SICK, designed for general industrial automation. The IQ line emphasizes durability and ease of integration into complex sensor networks. This specific variant focuses on standard inductive detection without advanced digital communication protocols, serving as a reliable discrete input source for control systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 40x40x66mm form factor and 20mm switching distance. Verify that substitute sensors support flush metal mounting and PNP NO outputs. Ensure the replacement uses an M12 4-pin interface for direct connectivity compatibility.
