Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The IFM I7R208 I7R3015-FNKG/DY/US-100-INF is a high-speed inductive ring sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic components passing through a defined sensing opening.
The sensor uses a dynamic operating principle to detect metallic targets as they move through the ring. Its dedicated ring-shaped sensing arrangement creates a controlled detection path, making it suitable for automated part detection, counting, feeding systems, material-flow monitoring and production machinery.
The I7R208 features a compact 60 × 35 × 20 mm housing with a 15.1 mm internal sensing opening. This provides a defined passage for compatible metallic parts while allowing the sensor to monitor their movement through the sensing area.
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, providing flexibility for integration with compatible PLCs, industrial controllers and machine-control systems.

The I7R208 is designed for fast non-contact detection of metallic components passing through its ring-shaped sensing opening.
The 15.1 mm internal diameter provides a defined sensing passage for compatible metallic objects. This makes the sensor suitable for applications where parts move through a controlled path, such as automated feeders, production machinery and material-handling systems.
The NPN output can be configured as normally open or normally closed, allowing the sensor to be adapted to compatible PLC inputs and automation control circuits. Its 200 mA permanent switching current supports suitable industrial control applications.
The adjustable pulse-stretching function can extend short detection signals, helping connected controllers reliably register detection events when metallic parts pass rapidly through the sensing opening.
The I7R208 uses a compact ring-style housing measuring 60 × 35 × 20 mm with a 15.1 mm internal sensing opening.
Metallic parts pass through the central opening while the sensor monitors their presence. This arrangement provides a repeatable detection point and is particularly useful when components follow a defined path through automated equipment.
The housing is manufactured from polyamide (PA) and the sensing ring from POM. An M12 A-coded connector provides electrical connection to compatible industrial sensor cabling.
The I7R208 can be used for reliable detection of metallic components moving through a controlled sensing path.
