Product Description

The IFM IM5052 (IME3015BFPKG/NPT RT) is a rectangular inductive proximity sensor engineered for precise metal detection in industrial automation systems. With a 15 mm sensing range and a compact 40 × 40 × 120 mm housing, it offers reliable performance in confined spaces. The sensor operates on a 10–36 V DC supply and features a PNP output that can be configured as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC), providing flexibility for various applications. Its IP65 rating ensures protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for demanding environments. The IM5052 is designed for flush mounting and includes a yellow LED indicator for easy status monitoring.​
