Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IBS04SF15A2PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IBS04SF15A2PO is a miniature 4 mm diameter inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets where installation space is limited. Its compact short-body format and robust stainless steel construction make it particularly suitable for precision machinery, automation equipment and small mechanisms.
The IBS04SF15A2PO provides a 1.5 mm rated operating distance with flush mounting and a PNP normally open (NO) output. Its integral 2 m cable enables straightforward hard-wired connection to compatible PLC inputs and industrial control systems, while the smooth cylindrical 4 mm housing supports installation in compact sensing locations.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the IBS04SF15A2PO supports an output current of up to 100 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 4.5 kHz. With IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 °C to +70 °C, it provides fast and dependable metal detection for industrial automation applications.
