Inductive proximity sensors

  Description Learn More
Full metal technology dramatically improves life-in-application and increases production uptime
The noncontact, zero-leak, all-metal sensors are so robust, they may outlast the life of your machines! The stainless steel constructions extends the sensor's life by a factor of 15 compared to plastic face sensors. The family includes products specifically for the food and beverage, metal stamping, and welding environments.
Flat pack sensors for welding and stamping offer compact design
Welding and stamping environments are typically very harsh -- hot, dirty with weld spatter, and damaging due to mechanical impact of stamping presses. Flat rectangular sensors (aka "flat packs") are popular since mounting is more easily controlled than tubular sensors that could be threaded too far or too short in the machine.

Inductive proximity sensors prevent mechanical damage from impact

ifm launched its first inductive sensor under the name “efector” in 1969. Since then, we have continued to improve the design of our products with patented coil structure, optimized electronics for noise immunity, and high reliability under extreme conditions.

The product group offers a combination of features, performance, and value for industrial applications.
