IB061104 – IPF inductive sensor

IB061104 IPF is an inductive sensor designed for non-contact detection of the position and presence of metal objects. This variant has: design Ø6.5 mm, rated sensing distance 1.5 mm, NPN output, connection: PVC cable 2 m, 3 wires.

Key features

• Sensing distance 1.5 mm – rated value according to the manufacturer's catalogue data.
• NPN output – electrical design of this variant.
• Connection: PVC cable 2 m, 3 wires – electrical connection type of this variant.

How an inductive sensor works

The active face of the sensor generates an electromagnetic field. When a metal object approaches it, the resulting eddy currents change the state of the oscillator and the electronics evaluate this change at the output. Detection takes place without mechanical contact between the sensor and the target.

Correction factors for different metals

The rated sensing distance applies to the manufacturer's reference target. For another material, the approximate range is determined as Sn × the correction factor given below. The values are taken from the catalogue data of this model.

Technical specifications IB061104

Electrical connection IB061104

IB061104 uses the connection PVC cable 2 m, 3 wires. The manufacturer states the number of wires: 3. Before connecting, compare the actual wiring with the diagram in the manufacturer's datasheet; pin and wire colour assignments should not be derived from the connector type alone.

Typical applications IB061104

• detecting the presence of a metal part
• checking the end position of a metal part
• non-contact counting of metal objects

How to choose the right variant

• Sensing distance 1.5 mm: this is the rated catalogue value. When designing, take into account the material and size of the target as well as the mounting conditions.
• Output NPN: must match the input type of the control system.
• Connection: PVC cable 2 m, 3 wires: the mating connector or cable must match the data in the datasheet.
