Product Description

The IFM IM5033 is a robust inductive proximity sensor designed for precise metal object detection in industrial automation systems. Encased in a durable rectangular housing, it offers a 15 mm sensing range with a programmable normally open (NO) output function. The sensor operates within a wide voltage range of 10–36 V DC and features a yellow LED indicator for clear switching status feedback. Its IP65-rated enclosure ensures reliable performance in harsh environments, making it suitable for applications such as conveyor systems, machine tools, and automated assembly lines.
