ifm IQ flat pack inductive sensors

The compact IQ IO-Link inductive sensors in a rectangular housing are suitable for the limited space found in conveyor technology and factory automation. The flush installation of the sensor facilitates mounting and prevents mechanical damage. Together with high impact and vibration resistance and a wide temperature range, this is said to ensure long life.

In order to solve demanding position detection tasks, the distance value is continuously provided via IO-Link. Two switch points can be set to the nearest millimetre via IO-Link. The sensor also provides various configuration options, such as NO/NC or PNP/NPN, designed to reduce storage costs for different sensor types.

The product is offered with protection ratings of IP65, IP67 and IP68, and has an operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C.
