The IFM M9H212 is a compact magnetic position sensor designed for plunger detection in lubricant distributors. It uses a PNP normally open output and operates from 10...60 V DC. The sensor provides a 2 mm sensing range and 50 Hz switching frequency. Its stainless-steel construction is pressure-resistant up to 350 bar. A 0.5 m PUR cable with M12 connector provides a compact connection solution.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The M9H212 detects ferrous-metal movement associated with a plunger. Its actual sensing range is 2 ±10%. The operating distance extends to 1.62 mm. The sensor provides a normally open PNP switching signal. This makes it suitable for compact mechanical position monitoring.
The sensor is designed for lubricant-distributor applications. Its pressure rating reaches 35 MPa or 350 bar. Stainless-steel 316L construction supports the pressure-resistant mechanical design. The compact M11 × 1 threaded body allows direct installation. This makes the sensor suitable for demanding fluid-related machinery.
The M9H212 operates from 10...60 V DC. Its current consumption is below 20 mA. The PNP output provides 100 mA continuous current with a 50 Hz switching frequency. Short-circuit and overload protection are provided. This supports dependable position feedback.
