The IFM I7R206 I7R3015-FNKG/US-100-INF is an inductive ring sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects passing through a defined sensing opening.
Its ring-shaped construction creates a controlled detection zone around the passing component, making it suitable for small-part detection, automated counting, feeding systems, material-flow monitoring and production machinery.
The I7R206 features a compact 60 × 35 × 20 mm housing with a 15.1 mm internal sensing opening. The larger sensing passage allows suitable metallic components to pass through the ring while the sensor monitors their presence.
The sensor uses an NPN electrical design with a normally-open output and operates from a 10–35 V DC supply. Its fast response characteristics make it suitable for repetitive detection tasks in automated machinery.
