IFM IE5121 IEA3001-BPKG Inductive Sensor

Product overview

The ifm IE5121 (IEA3001-BPKG) is an inductive proximity sensor in an M8 x 1 threaded housing 50 mm long, for flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 1 mm. The real sensing range is 1 mm ± 10% and the operating distance on steel is 0…0.8 mm. The PNP switching output is normally open, rated at 200 mA and up to 750 Hz on 10…36 V DC, with reverse polarity and short-circuit protection. On other metals the distance is reduced by ifm's correction factors: 0.7 for stainless steel, 0.4 for brass, 0.3 for aluminum and 0.2 for copper. The sensor has a white-bronze-coated brass housing with a PBT sensing face, connects through a 2 m PVC cable with 3 x 0.14 mm² conductors and is rated IP67 for -25…80 °C ambient. Two lock nuts are included.
