Product Description

The IFM IV5004 is a rectangular inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation applications. It features a sensing range of 20 mm (±10%) and operates within a voltage range of 10–30 V DC. The sensor offers a complementary PNP output function, providing flexibility for various control systems. With a switching frequency of up to 400 Hz and a permanent current rating of 200 mA, the IV5004 is suitable for high-speed applications requiring precise metal detection. Its robust housing, constructed from PA 6.6 and die-cast zinc epoxy-coated materials, ensures durability in harsh environments. The sensor is flush mountable and features LED indicators for switching status (yellow) and operation (green), facilitating easy monitoring. Additionally, the IV5004 is equipped with short-circuit and overload protection, enhancing its reliability and longevity in industrial settings.​
