Inductive proximity sensor 8 mm sensing range

The IFM IGS212 is an inductive cylindrical proximity sensor designed for industrial automation and machinery monitoring. It detects metal targets at a maximum distance of 8 mm and operates on a 10 to 30 V DC supply. The sensor suits production lines, packaging equipment and general position-sensing tasks where reliable non-contact detection is required.

M12 connector with 3-wire PNP output

Installation uses a standard 4-pin M12 connector for quick electrical hook-up. The shielded 18 mm barrel allows flush mounting in metal without interference. Wiring errors such as reversed polarity or exceeding the 100 mA load limit will prevent correct operation. The brass housing with white bronze coating resists coolant and cleaning agents in harsh environments.

400 Hz switching for fast cycle times

A switching frequency of 400 Hz supports high-speed counting and positioning applications. The sensor handles continuous loads up to 100 mA and functions across a temperature span of -13 to 158 degrees F. It is not suited for detecting non-metallic materials or for applications requiring longer sensing distances beyond 8 mm.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the sensor is detecting correctly after wiring the 4-pin M12 connector?

Apply 10 to 30 V DC power, bring a metal target within 8 mm of the sensing face, and confirm the PNP output switches high at up to 400 Hz; the IP67-rated brass housing and -13 to 158 °F operating range indicate reliable sealing for continuous checks.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The sensor ships with its brass white-bronze coated body and integral 4-pin M12 connector; a mating M12 cable or field-wireable plug and a 10 to 30 V DC supply capable of 100 mA are not included.

Which sensing distance matches my mounting constraints — the 8 mm or 18 mm variant?

This IGS212 model provides an 8 mm maximum detecting distance in an 18 mm diameter threaded barrel that is 70 mm long; choose it when the target can approach within 8 mm of the shielded face.
