IFM IG0087 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Product overview

The ifm IG0087 (IGA2008-ABOA/V4A/10M) is an inductive proximity sensor in an M18 x 1 threaded housing 80 mm long, for non-flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 8 mm. The real sensing range is 8 mm ± 10% and the operating distance on steel is 0…6.5 mm. It is a two-wire normally open sensor for 20…250 V AC/DC, with an AC load current of 250 (350 (…50 °C)) mA 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, 0.3 for aluminum and 0.2 for copper. The sensor has a PBT uncolored housing, connects through a 10 m PVC cable with 2 x 0.5 mm² conductors and is rated IP67 for -25…80 °C ambient. Two lock nuts are included.
