Overview
The IFM Efector IIK2022-ABOA/SL/LS inductive proximity sensor is a compact, cylindrical sensing device manufactured in Germany for use in factory automation, motion control, and machine monitoring applications. This sensor detects ferrous and non-ferrous metal targets without physical contact, making it ideal for position sensing, part presence detection, and limit switching. The 22mm diameter housing and quick-disconnect connector enable fast integration into control systems.
Key Features
- Solid-state inductive technology – reliable non-contact detection of metal objects
- 22mm cylindrical housing – compact design fits tight mounting spaces
- 3-wire NPN output – normally open (N.O.) configuration for standard industrial wiring
- Wide voltage range – operates 20–250V AC/DC for flexible integration
- Quick-disconnect connector – enables rapid field replacement and maintenance
- German engineering – built to IEC standards for durability and performance
