ifm IN5225 Dual Inductive Sensor for Valve Actuators, 2x NO, DC PNP

The IFM IN5225 is a robust inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable metal object detection in industrial automation. With a sensing range of 8 mm and a compact M18 threaded housing, it offers precise non-flush mounting and high switching frequency up to 1000 Hz. The sensor features a DC PNP output with two normally open (NO) switching outputs, making it ideal for a wide range of control and monitoring tasks.

Advantages

High reliability and durability thanks to nickel-plated brass housing and IP67 protection. Short-circuit and reverse polarity protection ensure safe operation. The yellow LED switching status indicator simplifies commissioning and troubleshooting. The 2-meter PVC cable provides flexible installation options.
