Overview
The IFM IF-2002-FRKG/PH is a rectangular inductive sensor from IFM’s EFECTOR line, engineered for reliable position detection in industrial automation. This IFM IF-2002-FRKG/PH inductive sensor delivers precision switching in compact form, making it ideal for machinery positioning, part detection, and material handling applications. With a 2 mm flush-mountable sensing range and selectable output logic, it integrates seamlessly into existing control systems.
Key Features
- 2 mm Flush-Mount Sensing Range — Detects ferrous metal objects without physical contact; flush installation minimizes mechanical damage risk
- Selectable PNP/NPN Output — Normally open or normally closed configuration supports diverse control architectures
- IP67 Protection Rating — Sealed against dust and moisture for harsh industrial environments
- High Switching Frequency — 2000 Hz switching capability enables responsive position monitoring and fast detection cycles
- 2 M Shielded Cable — PVC or PUR jacket for flexible routing and cable management
- DC Operating Voltage — 10–36 V DC supply accommodates standard industrial power systems
