Sick W8 series high-quality, miniature photoelectric sensors are specially designed for close-range applications. Autocollimation, background suppression, and high switching frequencies of 2 kHz make these sensors ideal for a broad range of applications. The housing is designed with M3 threaded mounting holes that provide easy and secure mounting.

Designed to detect and measure physical objects or quantities through emitting a field or beam of electromagnetic radiation, an object is detected through measuring alteration in the return. Sick's photoelectric sensor forms part of the Sick's W8 series, providing a high-quality, top-performing miniature sensor.

• The detection principle is photoelectric proximity and background suppression
• Dimensions of the sensor are W11mm x H31mm x D20mm
• Features a rectangular housing design
• LED light source
• Wavelength is 650 nm
• The supply voltage is 10V DC - 30V DC
