IFM IGT002 Hygienic M18 Stainless Steel Inductive Sensor, 5 mm NO AC/DC Ideal for Washdown, Food & Beverage, IP68/IP69K Hygienic Applications

IFM IGT002 Hygienic Inductive Sensor for Demanding Industrial Environments

The IFM IGT002 is a hygienic, stainless steel inductive proximity sensor engineered for reliable metal detection in washdown and wet-area environments. Designed with a fully encapsulated 316L housing and a durable PEEK sensing face, it provides long-lasting performance in food, beverage, and other sanitary production applications.

Why It Helps
The wide 20–140 V AC/DC operating range, 2-wire NO output, and M18 flush-mount design support flexible integration into existing control systems. Its IP68/IP69K sealing withstands high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning, while the four-sided LED indicator simplifies status monitoring. With excellent resistance to vibration, shock, and aggressive cleaning agents, the IGT002 ensures consistent operation where standard sensors cannot survive.

Key Highlights

• The 316L stainless steel body and PEEK sensing face provide exceptional durability in hygienic and washdown environments, supporting long-term stability under aggressive cleaning cycles.

• A 5 mm sensing range and flush mount capability allow reliable detection of metal targets in tight or sanitary installation zones.

• The 20–140 V AC/DC supply range and 2-wire NO output enable compatibility with a broad range of industrial control circuits without additional interfaces.

• IP68/IP69K protection ensures resistance to high-pressure washdowns commonly required in food and beverage applications, improving uptime and reducing maintenance.

• A four-way yellow LED indicator provides clear visibility of switching status from multiple viewing angles for simplified diagnostics.
