IFM IB0004 Inductive sensors Inductive sensor

Product overview

The ifm IB0004 (IB-2020-ABOA) is an inductive proximity sensor in a smooth tubular Ø 34 mm housing 82 mm long, for non-flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 20 mm. The real sensing range is 20 mm ± 10% and the operating distance on steel is 0…16.2 mm. It is a two-wire normally open sensor for 20…250 V AC/DC, with an AC load current of 250 mA (350 mA up to 50 °C) and a switching frequency of 25 Hz on AC, or 100 mA and 50 Hz on DC. ifm specifies a fast-acting miniature fuse of 2 A or less in the supply. On other metals the distance is reduced by ifm's correction factors: 0.7 for stainless steel, 0.4 for brass, 0.4 for aluminum and 0.3 for copper. The sensor has a PBT housing, connects through a 2 m PVC cable with 2 x 0.5 mm² conductors and is rated IP67 for -25…80 °C ambient. Supplied with one mounting clamp.
