The IFM IE5287 is a compact M8 inductive sensor with a 2 mm flush sensing range. It uses a PNP normally open output and operates from 10 to 30 V DC. The sensor provides a high 1300 Hz switching frequency for rapid object detection. Its increased sensing range and robust threaded construction support reliable factory automation. The compact M8 × 1, 50 mm design is suitable for installations with limited available space.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The IE5287 provides a 2 mm nominal sensing range with an actual sensing range of 2 ±10%. Its operating distance is 0...1.6 mm. Flush mounting allows the sensing face to be installed within the surrounding machine structure. The increased sensing range provides dependable detection despite the small sensor format. This makes the sensor useful for compact industrial machinery.
The IE5287 supports a switching frequency of 1300 Hz. Its PNP normally open output can switch up to 100 mA. The 10...30 V DC operating range supports standard industrial control systems. Short-circuit and overload protection are integrated. These characteristics make the sensor suitable for high-speed presence and position detection.
The sensor uses an M8 × 1 threaded housing with a 50 mm length. Its correction factors are specified for steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminium, and copper. The sensor includes four yellow LEDs for switching-status indication. The compact construction allows flexible mounting in machine components. These features support reliable industrial sensing in space-constrained installations.
