IFM IF7105 Inductive Proximity Sensor
Technical Specifications & Features
The IFM IF7105 (shortcode: IFK3004-BPKG/2M/PUR) is a dependable, high-performance inductive proximity sensor built for precision position detection in harsh industrial environments. Housed in a robust cylindrical threaded M12 x 1 metal barrel made of white bronze-coated brass with an overall length of 60 mm, it features a non-flush mountable installation configuration. It delivers a rated sensing range of 4 mm, a real sensing range ($Sr$) of 4 mm $\pm$ 10%, and an operating distance of 0 to 3.24 mm. Material correction factors include mild steel = 1, stainless steel approx. 0.7, brass approx. 0.5, aluminium approx. 0.4, and copper approx. 0.3.
Key Operational Benefits & Electrical Data
-
Electrical Ratings: Operates on a DC PNP architecture with an operating voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC, a current consumption of less than 10 mA, a protection class III rating, and a permanent switching output current rating of 100 mA.
-
Switching Performance: Features a normally open (NO) output function with a maximum voltage drop of 2.5 V, a very high switching frequency of 800 Hz, a hysteresis of 3 to 15% of $Sr$, and a switch-point drift of -10 to 10% of $Sr$.
-
Environmental & Mechanical Protection: Rated to IP67 for reliable dust and moisture resistance. It functions smoothly within an ambient temperature range of -25 °C to 75 °C and includes built-in short-circuit protection, overload protection, reverse polarity protection, and an integrated 2-meter PUR cable connection.
