IFM IGM207 Inductive sensor

Product overview

The ifm IGM207 (IGK3012-BPKG/M/60V/6M/ZH) is an inductive proximity sensor in an M18 x 1 threaded housing 81 mm long, for non-flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 12 mm, which ifm classes as an increased sensing range. The real sensing range is 12 mm ± 10% and the operating distance on steel is 0…9.72 mm. The PNP switching output is normally open, rated at 200 mA and up to 200 Hz on 10…60 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, 0.45 for aluminum and 0.35 for copper. The sensor has a stainless steel housing with a natural LCP sensing face, connects through a 6 m PUR, Ø 5.4 mm cable with 3 x 0.5 mm² conductors (burning behaviour to ECE R118 rev. 2) and is rated IP67 and IP69K for -40…85 °C ambient. It has UL approval under file E174191. Two lock nuts are included.
