Product Description

The IFM Inductive Cylindrical Proximity Sensor (MPN IGS255) is a cylindrical sensor with a built-in connector, designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects. It operates with a DC supply voltage rating of 10-30V DC and features an unshielded, 3-wire, 4-pin M12 connector with a normally closed (NC) output. This sensor is not rated for AC supply voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IFM IGS255 inductive proximity sensor used for?

The IFM IGS255 is used for non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation, such as position sensing on machinery, conveyor systems, and packaging equipment. Its unshielded design and normally closed output suit applications requiring reliable metal detection in tight spaces.

What are the specifications of the IFM IGS255 sensor?

The IFM IGS255 is an unshielded, normally closed inductive proximity sensor with a built-in 4-pin M12 connector. It operates on 10-30V DC, has 3 wires, and is not rated for AC supply. The cylindrical form factor enables easy integration into automated systems.

Where to buy the IFM IGS255 proximity sensor worldwide?

3G Electric supplies the IFM IGS255 inductive proximity sensor worldwide. As a global industrial solutions provider, we handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your facility. Contact us for pricing and lead time on this IFM sensor.

How to install the IFM IGS255 inductive proximity sensor?

Mount the IFM IGS255 in a non-ferrous bracket to avoid interference, connect the 4-pin M12 connector to a compatible DC power supply (10-30V DC), and verify the normally closed output wiring. Ensure the sensing face is unobstructed and the target metal is within the rated sensing distance.
