MINIATURE inductive sensors from ifm are supplied in M5 housing or cylindrical smooth 4 mm housing for confined installation conditions. The sensors have a longer sensing range for accurate and reliable position detection and are suitable for dynamic processes due to their high switching frequency.
The inductive IY/IZ type sensors are used in various industrial areas where space is limited, for example, in machine tools, assembly automation and electronics production. They detect end positions of small grippers and clamps, and can be used to accurately monitor speed of gears and rotary movements.
The longer sensing range makes it easy to position the sensors. The position detection is reliable even in case of mechanical tolerance, avoiding accidental switching. This increases the process reliability.
The M5 thread makes it easy to screw in the IY housing. The IZ housing has a 4 mm smooth sleeve and can be fastened precisely and efficiently using the corresponding holder.
The robust housing has been specially developed for demanding industrial environments and offers durability and reliability. Thanks to the protection rating IP67, the sensors guarantee reliable performance even under extreme conditions such as dust, moisture and vibrations, which improves process stability and efficiency in various industrial sectors.
