IFM IG5790 Inductive Proximity Sensor
Technical Specifications & Features
The IFM IG5790 (shortcode: IGB2005-FRKG/US-104) is a rugged, rectangular inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation and specialized manufacturing systems. Engineered with a durable rectangular plastic housing made of PBT-GF20, it features a non-flush mountable installation design with dimensions of 80 x 40 x 40 mm. Key technical specifications include a sensing range of 5 mm, a real sensing range ($Sr$) of 5 mm $\pm$ 10%, an operating distance of 0 to 4.05 mm, and a rotatable sensing face capable of 5 different positions. Material correction factors include mild steel = 1, stainless steel approx. 0.7, brass approx. 0.4, aluminium approx. 0.3, and copper approx. 0.2.
Key Operational Benefits & Electrical Data
-
Electrical Ratings: Operates on a complementary AC/DC 2-wire architecture with an operating voltage range of 20 to 250 V AC/DC, a minimum load current of 5 mA, and a peak switching output current rating of 250 mA (permanent) or 1200 mA (for 10 ms).
-
Switching Performance: Features a programmable output function (normally open or normally closed), a maximum voltage drop of < 4.6 V AC / < 4.0 V DC, a switching frequency of 25 Hz (DC) or 10 Hz (AC), and a hysteresis of 3 to 15% of $Sr$.
-
Environmental & Mechanical Protection: Rated to IP67 for reliable dust and moisture protection, operating efficiently within an ambient temperature range of -25 °C to 80 °C. It includes short-circuit protection (pulsed), power-on delay time of less than 150 ms, and a terminal chamber connection block for secure installation.
