Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The IFM I7R204 I7R3010-FNKG/DY/US-100-INF is a high-resolution inductive ring sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of small metallic objects passing through a defined sensing opening.
Its ring-shaped construction creates a controlled detection zone around the passage of the metallic target. The sensor uses a dynamic operating principle, making it suitable for fast detection applications while providing reliable operation in industrial environments.
The I7R204 features a compact 60 × 35 × 20 mm circular housing with a 10.1 mm internal opening. This configuration is suitable for detecting small metallic components travelling through feeders, production equipment and automated material-handling systems.
The sensor uses an NPN electrical design with a selectable normally-open or normally-closed output. It operates from a 10–35 V DC supply and supports a permanent switching current of 200 mA.

The I7R204 is designed for high-resolution detection of small metallic objects passing through its ring-shaped sensing opening. Its 0.6 mm steel-ball resolution allows detection of very small metallic targets when installed according to the specified sensing conditions.
The dynamic operating principle and response time below 0.2 ms make the sensor suitable for fast-moving metallic parts and applications where detection events occur over very short periods. The specified maximum part speed is 35 m/s.
The adjustable 0.1–150 ms pulse stretching function can extend the output signal after detection. This can help connected PLCs and controllers reliably register short detection pulses produced by rapidly moving parts.
The NPN output can be configured as normally open or normally closed, providing flexibility when integrating the sensor into compatible control circuits. The sensor supports a permanent switching current of 200 mA.
The I7R204 features a 60 × 35 × 20 mm circular housing with a 10.1 mm internal diameter. Metallic components can pass through the central opening while the sensor monitors their presence.
The ring configuration is particularly useful for automated feeders, small-part handling equipment, production machinery and counting applications where components travel through a defined detection path.
The housing is manufactured from polyamide (PA) and the sensing ring from POM. Electrical connection is provided through an M12 A-coded connector for integration with compatible industrial sensor cabling.
The I7R204 is suitable for applications where small metallic parts move rapidly through the sensing area.
