Pre-wired and quick disconnect
— Powerful compact proximity sensor switch, the compact rectangular proximity switch can be installed on the valve top for non-contact detection of the valve stem.

IFM IL/IS/IN/IW Series Inductive Proximity Sensor Switch

Technical Features

Small package, long sensing range! The compact design is an ideal choice for applications with limited installation space.

The proximity switch is a retrofit for a V3 mechanical switch, thereby extending uptime and shortening installation time.

Flexible wiring – the proximity switch is available with quick disconnect or a pre-wired 300 mm cable with an M8 Pico connector.

The rugged, industry-standard housing is specially designed and tested to withstand industrial automation environments.

Available in plastic or metal housings to meet different application needs.

Benefits introduce In Detail

Powerful compact proximity sensor switch

ifm efector’s small rectangular proximity switches are an ideal choice for detecting the switching position of rising stem valves. The IS series uses a special housing design and can directly replace V3-type mechanical devices. These proximity switches use standard inductive technology and are mounted on top of the valve for non-contact detection of the valve.

The ifm proximity switch is designed as a proximity switch system with surface-mount components on a flexible polyamide film. All components are carefully combined to expand or contract simultaneously, thereby minimizing the effects of thermal shock. The proximity switch has a protection rating of IP67 and is resistant to washdowns.
