IFM IG5953 IGK2008BFRKG/2LED/US-104 Inductive Sensor

Product overview

The ifm IG5953 (IGK2008BFRKG/2LED/US-104) is an inductive proximity sensor in an M18 x 1 threaded housing 70 mm long, for flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 8 mm, which ifm classes as an increased sensing range. The operating distance on steel is 0…6.5 mm. The PNP/NPN switching output is selectable as normally open or normally closed, rated at 100 mA and up to 400 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, 0.5 for brass, 0.5 for aluminum and 0.4 for copper. The sensor has a white-bronze-coated brass housing with an orange PBT sensing face, connects through an M12 connector (A-coded, 2 gold-plated contacts) and is rated IP68 for -25…70 °C ambient. Two lock nuts are included.
