Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The IF6014 IFB35,5-BPKG/2M/PVC/OLED by IFM is a compact inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable and precise detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery, factory automation and production systems. Its particularly short housing makes it an excellent choice for applications where installation space is restricted while dependable position and object detection are required.
Using inductive sensing technology, the IF6014 detects suitable metallic targets without requiring physical contact. This non-contact operating principle makes the sensor suitable for repetitive detection tasks and helps avoid the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The sensor provides a 5.5 mm nominal sensing range, with a real sensing range of 5.5 ± 10% mm and a guaranteed operating range of 0 to 4.45 mm. This makes it suitable for detecting metallic machine components, workpieces, fixtures, moving parts and other suitable targets in automated processes.
The IF6014 features a DC PNP normally-open output and operates with a 10–36 V DC supply voltage. Its electrical configuration allows integration with compatible PLCs, controllers and industrial automation equipment. The sensor has a maximum switching-output voltage drop of 2.5 V and a permanent switching output current rating of 150 mA.
A major advantage of the IF6014 is its very high switching frequency of 800 Hz. This enables the sensor to support fast and repetitive detection tasks in production machinery, conveyors, automated assembly equipment and other high-speed industrial applications.
The sensor features a short M12 × 1 threaded housing with a length of approximately 38 mm. This particularly compact design makes it suitable for machines and equipment where conventional sensors may not fit due to restricted installation space. IFM specifically describes the product as suitable for use in limited spaces and for precise position detection on machines.
The IF6014 is designed for non-flush mounting. Correct installation clearance should therefore be maintained according to the manufacturer's mounting requirements to ensure reliable sensing performance.
The sensor's housing is made from brass with a white-bronze coating, with PBT used as part of the sensor construction. This robust construction is intended for demanding industrial environments.
The IF6014 has an IP67 protection rating, providing protection against dust and water ingress under the specified conditions. It is designed for an ambient temperature range of 10 °C to +50 °C according to the available product specifications.
The product is supplied with a 2 m PVC cable containing three 0.14 mm² conductors. This provides a direct wired connection for suitable industrial control installations. A visual switching indicator is included through the sensor's LED arrangement, supporting easier installation and commissioning.
The IF6014 is a suitable choice for businesses searching for Industrial Sensors, Proximity Sensors, Industrial Sensors Supplier UAE, Proximity Sensors Supplier UAE, and Sensor Supplier UAE for industrial automation, machine control and factory equipment.

The IF6014 operates using the inductive proximity sensing principle. The sensor detects metallic targets by monitoring changes in its electromagnetic sensing field.
When a suitable metallic object enters the detection zone, the sensor switches its PNP output. The resulting signal can be supplied to a compatible PLC, controller or machine-control system.
Because detection occurs without physical contact, the sensor is suitable for repetitive industrial applications where components need to be detected many times during a production cycle.
The IF6014 has a 5.5 mm nominal sensing range. The real sensing range is specified as 5.5 ± 10% mm, while the guaranteed operating range is 0 to 4.45 mm.
Actual detection performance can depend on the target's material, dimensions, shape and installation conditions.
The specified correction factors are:
These correction factors should be considered when designing an application involving different metallic target materials.
One of the most useful characteristics of the IF6014 is its 800 Hz switching frequency.
