Product Description

The IFM Inductive Cylindrical Proximity Sensor (SKU IGS234, MPN IGS234) is a shielded cylindrical sensor with a built-in connector. It operates on a 10-30V DC supply voltage and features a 3-wire, 4-pin M12 connector with NPN output. This sensor is not rated for AC supply voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IFM IGS234 inductive proximity sensor used for?

The IFM IGS234 inductive cylindrical proximity sensor detects metallic objects without contact. It is commonly used in industrial automation for position sensing, part detection, and machine monitoring in manufacturing, packaging, and material handling applications.

What are the specifications of the IFM IGS234 sensor?

The IFM IGS234 is a shielded cylindrical sensor with a built-in M12 connector. It operates on 10-30V DC supply voltage, has 3 wires and 4 pins, and features NPN output. It is not rated for AC supply voltage. The manufacturer part number is IGS234.

Where to buy the IFM IGS234 sensor worldwide?

You can source the IFM IGS234 sensor through 3G Electric, a global industrial equipment distributor. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to worldwide destinations. Contact us for availability and lead time.

How to install the IFM IGS234 proximity sensor?

Mount the shielded sensor in a metal environment without derating. Connect the 3-wire M12 connector per the NPN output wiring: brown to 10-30V DC, blue to ground, black to load. Ensure the sensing face is clean and the target material is metallic for reliable detection.
