Defined Sensor Position

The integrated end stop provides a repeatable mechanical reference for the sensor. This helps maintain the same sensing-face position after installation or replacement. IFM specifies alignment of the sensor sensing face to the right. The defined position can reduce adjustment work during maintenance. This is particularly useful in machines where sensor geometry affects detection performance.

Mechanical Construction

The E10848 uses brass with a white-bronze-coated surface. It has an M12 × 1 thread and an 8 mm internal diameter. Two brass nuts with the same white-bronze-coated finish are supplied. The specified tightening torque is 5 Nm, with 10 Nm for the lock nuts. The sleeve weighs 31.9 g and is supplied as one piece.

Maintenance Benefits

The end stop allows the sensor to be returned to a known position after replacement. This reduces the need for repeated mechanical adjustment. The threaded construction provides secure mounting within compatible fixtures. Its compact dimensions allow integration into space-limited machine structures. The E10848 provides a simple mechanical solution for repeatable M8 sensor mounting.

Repeatable Sensor Mounting

The end stop establishes a fixed position for the M8 sensor. This helps reduce alignment variation between installations. Sensor replacement can therefore be performed with less adjustment. The design is useful for machinery where sensor positioning affects switching reliability. It provides a simple repeatable mounting reference.

Robust Mechanical Fixation

The coated brass construction provides a durable threaded mounting interface. The supplied nuts allow the sleeve to be secured after positioning. The 8 mm internal diameter accommodates the intended sensor size. The compact design supports integration into machine structures. The E10848 is suitable for industrial sensor mounting requirements.
