IBQ50104 – IPF inductive sensor

IBQ50104 IPF is an inductive sensor designed for non-contact detection of the position and presence of metal objects. This variant has: design 5x5x25 mm, rated sensing distance 0.8 mm, supply 10–30 V DC, PNP output with NO contact, connection: PUR cable 2 m, 3 wires.

Key features

• Sensing distance 0.8 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.
• Flush mounting – design of the active face according to the manufacturer.
• Connection: PUR cable 2 m, 3 wires – electrical connection type of this variant.
• Degree of protection IP67 – degree of protection stated in the catalogue data.
• IO-Link communication – communication interface specified by the manufacturer.
• Ambient temperature -25–70 °C – permissible temperature range according to the manufacturer.

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.

Technical specifications IBQ50104

Electrical connection IBQ50104

IBQ50104 uses the connection PUR 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.

Mounting IBQ50104

The active face is designed for flush mounting. The sensor can be installed in a metal surrounding according to the manufacturer's installation drawing. The maximum tightening torque specified by the manufacturer is 0.2 Nm.

Typical applications IBQ50104

• 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 0.8 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.
• Flush version: check that the installation method matches the manufacturer's installation drawing.
• PNP output: must match the input type of the control system.
• NO contact: the output changes state when the target is detected.
• Connection: PUR cable 2 m, 3 wires: the mating connector or cable must match the data in the datasheet.
• Degree of protection IP67: assess together with the specific environmental conditions and the connection method.
