IFM Electronic IN5129 IN-3004-BPKG Inductive sensor

The inductive sensor, also known as a proximity switch or metal sensor, with type number IN5129 IN-3004-BPKG from IFM Electronic is an electrical inductive sensor. It has the dimensions 10 x 10 x 2 cm and weighs 0.04 kg. Inductive sensors detect metallic objects without contact by generating a high-frequency electromagnetic field and utilizing its dampening when a metal approaches to trigger switching. Typical applications are found in automation technology for position sensing of machine parts, for counting objects on conveyor belts, or for monitoring end positions in production facilities. They are also used in robotics and in machine tools.
