Product Description

The IFM Inductive Cylindrical Proximity Sensor (MPN IFS263) is a cylindrical sensor with a built-in connector, featuring an unshielded design, 3 wires, and a 4-pin M12 connector with NC output. It operates on a DC supply voltage rating of 10-30V DC and is not rated for AC supply voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IFM IFS263 inductive proximity sensor used for?

The IFM IFS263 inductive proximity sensor detects metallic objects without contact. It is commonly used in industrial automation for position sensing, machine monitoring, and conveyor systems. Its unshielded design and NC output suit applications requiring reliable detection in tight spaces.

What are the specifications of the IFM IFS263 sensor?

The IFM IFS263 is an unshielded cylindrical proximity sensor with a built-in M12 4-pin connector, 3 wires, and NC output. It operates on 10-30V DC and is not rated for AC supply. The manufacturer part number is IFS263.

Where to buy the IFM IFS263 sensor worldwide?

3G Electric supplies the IFM IFS263 sensor worldwide. As a global industrial equipment distributor, we handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your location. Contact us for availability and lead time.

How to install the IFM IFS263 proximity sensor?

Mount the IFM IFS263 sensor securely in a non-ferrous holder to avoid interference. Connect the 4-pin M12 connector per the wiring diagram, ensuring 10-30V DC supply. Maintain a gap from metal objects per the unshielded sensing distance. Test NC output before operation.
