ifm electronic Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M12 x 1, PNP Output, 7 mm Detection, 36 V dc, IP68 IF5811

ifm electronic IF5811 is a high-quality Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor designed for reliable industrial automation and control. Featuring an M12 x 1 metal thread and PNP output type, this sensor provides consistent detection for metallic objects up to 7 mm away. The sensor's bronze plated brass housing ensures durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining compact dimensions with a 60 mm length and 12 mm width.

Rated IP68 for dust and water protection, it is suitable for harsh environments requiring robust performance. The sensor operates at a maximum supply voltage of 36 V dc within a temperature range of -25°C to 70°C, making it highly versatile for factory automation, machinery monitoring, and process control applications.

Its non-flush mounting and screw terminal connections enable flexible installation and reliable wiring. The sensor supports switching frequencies up to 700 Hz, facilitating high-speed detection tasks on industrial production lines. The unshielded proximity sensor design helps detect presence or absence of metallic parts without contact, increasing reliability and reducing wear.

Compliant with relevant electromagnetic compatibility standards including EN 61000-4-6 and EN 55011, the IF5811 supports stable operation in electrically noisy environments. Typical industrial applications include automation systems, conveyor monitoring, assembly line control, and machinery safety setups.

Thread size M12 x 1 enables secure fastening with metal threading. 7 mm maximum detection distance for precise metal object sensing. Bronze plated brass housing for rugged durability and corrosion resistance. IP68-rated protection against dust ingress and water immersion.

Operating temperature from -25°C up to 70°C for broad environment compatibility. PNP output type for standard sourcing signal interfacing. Maximum switching frequency of 700 Hz supports fast response applications. Non-flush mount style for versatile sensor positioning.

Screw terminal terminals for straightforward installation. Electromagnetic compatibility standards ensure interference-free operation.
