IFM IES215 Inductive sensors Inductive sensor

Product overview

The ifm IES215 (IEB3003BBPKG/V4A/AS) is an inductive proximity sensor in an M8 x 1 threaded housing 30 mm long, for flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 3 mm, which ifm classes as an increased sensing range. The real sensing range is 3 mm ± 10% and the operating distance on steel is 0…2.43 mm. The PNP switching output is normally open, rated at 100 mA and up to 1500 Hz on 10…30 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, 0.4 for aluminum and 0.3 for copper. The sensor has a stainless steel (1.4404 / 316L) housing with a white LCP sensing face, connects through an M8 connector (A-coded, 3 gold-plated contacts) and is rated IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68 and IP69K for -40…85 °C ambient. It has UL approval under file E174191. Two lock nuts are included.
