Product Description

The IFM Inductive Cylindrical Proximity Sensor (MPN IGS246) is a shielded, 3-wire NPN sensor with a non-terminated cable, operating on a 10-30V DC supply voltage. It is designed for industrial proximity detection applications requiring a cylindrical form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IFM IGS246 inductive proximity sensor used for?

The IFM IGS246 is used for non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation. Its shielded, cylindrical design allows flush mounting in machinery for position sensing, part presence verification, and end-stop detection in manufacturing lines.

What are the specifications of the IFM IGS246 sensor?

The IFM IGS246 is a shielded, NPN inductive proximity sensor with 3 wires and a non-terminated cable. It operates on 10-30V DC supply voltage and is not rated for AC. The brand is IFM and the manufacturer part number is IGS246.

Where to buy the IFM IGS246 sensor worldwide?

You can source the IFM IGS246 sensor through 3G Electric, a global industrial equipment distributor. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to worldwide destinations, ensuring the sensor reaches your facility reliably.

How to install the IFM IGS246 proximity sensor?

Mount the IFM IGS246 flush in metal using the shielded design. Connect the 3 wires: brown to 10-30V DC, blue to ground, and black as the NPN output. Ensure the sensing face is clear of debris and the cable is secured to avoid strain.

Used in

Common applications for IFM
Automotive assembly — IFM inductive proximity sensors (e.g., IFS243) for detecting metal parts on conveyor lines
