IFM IN5225 Inductive Dual Sensor for Valve Actuators
Technical Specifications & Features
The IFM IN5225 (shortcode: IND3004DBPKG/US-100-DPV) is a specialized inductive dual sensor engineered specifically for position feedback on quarter-turn valve actuators in automated industrial and process control applications. Built into a rectangular, durable plastic housing made of PBT with dimensions of 40 x 26 x 26 mm, it utilizes 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 3.25 mm. 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 DC PNP architecture featuring dual outputs with an operating voltage range of 10 to 36 V DC, a low current consumption of less than 15 mA, a protection class II rating, and a high permanent switching output current rating of 250 mA.
-
Switching Performance: Features 2 x normally open (NO) output functions with a maximum voltage drop of 2.5 V, a very high switching frequency of 1300 Hz, a hysteresis of 1 to 15% of $Sr$, and a switch-point drift of -10 to 10% of $Sr$.
-
Environmental & Mechanical Protection: Rated to IP67 for superior protection against dust and moisture in rugged plant environments. It operates efficiently within an ambient temperature range of -25 °C to 80 °C and incorporates built-in pulsed short-circuit protection, overload protection, reverse polarity protection, dual yellow LED status indicators, and an M12 connector with gold-plated contacts.
