The IFM E10154 is a mechanical limit plunger designed for compatible M8 × 1 sensor installations. It uses a movable spring-return bolt with a 1.5 mm stroke and approximately 5.5 mm front diameter. The plunger is manufactured from hardened steel for reliable mechanical actuation. A nickel-plated brass lock nut provides secure installation. The component is designed to protect compatible sensor installations from excessive mechanical impact.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E10154 uses a spring-return movable bolt. The plunger has a 1.5 mm return stroke and approximately 5.5 mm diameter. Its mechanical construction allows the plunger to move when contacted. This movement provides a controlled interface between the external target and sensor. The design is intended for compatible M8 × 1 installations.
The main limit-plunger body uses free-cutting steel. The front of the C45K steel plunger is hardened. A nickel-plated brass lock nut provides mechanical retention. The component weighs approximately 36.6 g. The activation force is specified in the product documentation.
The plunger provides a mechanical interface that can reduce direct impact on a compatible sensor. It is suitable where repeated physical contact occurs. The spring-return mechanism allows the bolt to return after actuation. The defined mounting arrangement helps maintain consistent mechanical operation. It is useful in machine automation applications.

The spring-return mechanism provides repeatable mechanical movement. Hardened steel improves the contact surface durability. The lock nut allows secure installation. The plunger can reduce direct mechanical loading on compatible sensors. Its compact design fits sensor installations with limited space.
Install the plunger on the compatible M8 × 1 arrangement. Align the moving bolt with the intended target. Do not exceed the specified mechanical actuation range. Check the spring-return action during maintenance. Inspect the plunger face for wear after repeated operation.
