IFM IG5620 Inductive Sensor

Product overview

The ifm IG5620 (IGA2005-FRKG/6M/PH) is an inductive proximity sensor in an M18 x 1 threaded housing 80 mm long, for flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 5 mm. The real sensing range is 5 mm ± 10% and the operating distance on steel is 0…4.05 mm. The PNP/NPN switching output is selectable as normally open or normally closed, rated at 400 mA and up to 700 Hz on 10…55 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 an orange PBT sensing face, connects through a 6 m PUR / PVC cable with 2 x 0.5 mm² conductors and is rated IP67 for -25…80 °C ambient. Two lock nuts are included.
