Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IBS04SF15M5IO IO-Link Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IBS04SF15M5IO is a miniature Ø4 mm IO-Link inductive proximity sensor designed for precise non-contact detection of metallic targets in space-constrained industrial automation applications. Its compact short-body design combines a stainless steel housing with configurable switching functionality, making it suitable for advanced machinery, robotics and automated production equipment.
The IBS04SF15M5IO provides a 1.5 mm rated operating distance with flush mounting and supports configurable NPN, PNP and push-pull outputs with normally open or normally closed switching functions. Integrated IO-Link communication provides access to configurable sensor functions and process information through compatible IO-Link systems.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the IBS04SF15M5IO supports a maximum output current of 100 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 4.5 kHz. Its M8 connector, stainless steel construction, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 °C to +70 °C provide a compact yet capable sensing solution for modern industrial automation.
