IN300106 – IPF extended-range inductive sensor

IN300106 IPF is an extended-range inductive sensor designed for applications requiring a longer sensing distance or a larger mounting margin. This variant has: design M30, rated sensing distance 40 mm, supply 10–30 V DC, PNP output with NO contact.

Key features

• Sensing distance 40 mm – rated value according to the manufacturer's catalogue data.
• PNP / NO output – electrical design of this variant.
• Supply 10–30 V DC – permissible supply voltage range.
• Degree of protection IP67 – degree of protection stated in the catalogue data.

How an extended-range 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 IN300106

Typical applications IN300106

• detection of metal parts with a larger mounting margin
• position checking over a larger working gap
• replacing a standard sensor where its range is not sufficient

How to choose the right variant

• Sensing distance 40 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.
• PNP output: must match the input type of the control system.
• NO contact: the output changes state when the target is detected.
• Degree of protection IP67: assess together with the specific environmental conditions and the connection method.
