Wide product portfolio from ifm at unbeatable prices at Automation24

At Automation24, you can purchase position sensors from ifm, for example, from the sensor systems range at the best prices. These work purely electronically and are therefore wear-free. They are also characterised by their high switching frequencies and simple operation.

Inductive sensors and capacitive sensors are suitable for detecting nearby objects.

With ifm photoelectric sensors, you can detect objects from greater distances. The cylinder sensors with their special type are suitable for special applications. For very high distances due to non-magnetisable materials, the use of magnetic sensors is recommended.

You can also obtain process sensors from ifm electronic for reliable fluid measurement and monitoring. Due to the direct contacts with the medium, the sensors fulfil high requirements. They are resistant to pressure, vibration and shock and have a high protection rating as well as media and temperature resistance.

In the portfolio you will find flow sensors and temperature sensors including matching evaluation units. You can also choose between ifm volumetric flow meters, pressure sensors, resistance thermometers, level sensors and point level sensors.

You will also find what you are looking for in the motion sensors category. With ifm speed sensors and incremental encoders as well as vibration sensors, you can reliably monitor the smooth functionality of your drives and avoid premature machine failures.

For status visualisation of your systems, the control & signalling devices include ifm's signal towers as complete devices. These can be configured via iO-Link.

To ensure that your sensors are ready for future challenges, Automation24 offers you iO-Link modules from ifm in the control systems category, for example. Use the fieldbus-independent interface and extract all data from your systems and machines for further processing.

Different sensor designs require different connection technology. For your sensors, you can obtain high-quality M12 Sensor cables, M12 Connection cables and circular connectors for a wide range of applications from the online shop.

Automation24 offers you a wide range of automation technology products from ifm electronic. Select the right sensors to help your application achieve even greater efficiency and precise control.

Quick tip: On request, we can offer you our parameterisation service for ifm encoders as well as a parameterisation service for ifm temperature sensors.
