Title: IFM DD2503 Inductive Sensor - M18 Extended Range Flush Mount PNP NO
Product Overview: The IFM DD2503 is a high-performance M18 inductive proximity sensor engineered for reliable, non-contact detection of metallic objects in demanding industrial environments. Boasting an extended sensing range of 10 mm, this flush-mountable sensor is designed for seamless integration into metallic surfaces, providing superior protection and space optimization. Its robust stainless steel housing ensures exceptional durability and resistance to harsh conditions, while the PNP normally open (NO) output and standard M12 connector facilitate straightforward integration into diverse automation systems. Ideal for precise position detection, presence monitoring, and counting applications where accuracy, speed, and longevity are critical.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Extended Sensing Range (10 mm): Offers increased flexibility in sensor placement and reliable detection of targets, even with slight variations in distance, minimizing false triggers.
- Flush Mount Design: Allows for discreet and protected installation directly within metallic surfaces, preventing mechanical damage and optimizing valuable space on machinery.
- Robust M18 Stainless Steel Housing (1.4404 / 316L): Provides superior resistance to corrosion, impact, and aggressive industrial cleaning agents, ensuring a prolonged operational lifespan.
- PNP Normally Open (NO) Output: Standard and widely compatible output configuration for direct connection to PLCs, control relays, and other industrial control systems, simplifying wiring.
- High Switching Frequency (1000 Hz): Enables rapid and accurate detection of fast-moving objects, crucial for high-speed automation processes, precise counting, and cycle time optimization.
- IP67 Protection Rating: Guarantees complete protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for use in wet, dusty, or washdown environments.
- Clear LED Status Indication: A highly visible yellow LED provides instant visual feedback on the sensor's switching status, aiding in quick commissioning, troubleshooting, and operational monitoring.
- Integrated Short-Circuit and Overload Protection: Built-in electronic safeguards protect the sensor and connected control equipment from potential electrical damage, enhancing system reliability and uptime.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range (-25 to 70 °C): Ensures consistent and reliable performance across a broad spectrum of industrial climates, from cold storage facilities to hot manufacturing areas.
