Wenglor M12 Proximity Switch

The Wenglor IB040BM60VB3 is an inductive proximity switch designed for industrial automation and sensing tasks. It detects metallic objects without physical contact and provides a PNP normally-open output signal. The sensor is supplied new in a single-unit box with a three-year parts and one-year labour cover.

Suited for M12 flush mounting

This switch suits engineers who need a flush-mountable M12 sensor with a four-millimetre sensing range and a four-pin M12 connector. It is not for applications requiring a longer sensing distance, a non-flush mounting style, an NPN output type or a normally-closed circuit logic.

Four-millimetre sensing range

The decisive specification is the four-millimetre operating distance, which defines the maximum gap at which the switch reliably detects a standard target. If the installation demands a greater or shorter range, a different sensor model must be selected.

Questions about this item

Does the Wenglor IB040BM60VB3 proximity switch come with a mounting nut and an M12 cable, or must those be purchased separately?

The switch is supplied as a single unit in a box; the M12×1 4-pin connector is built in, but no mounting nut or cable is included, so you will need to source a compatible M12 cable and any required mounting hardware separately.

Should I choose the flush-mount 4 mm PNP version or look for a non-flush alternative for my application?

Select this IB040BM60VB3 when you need a flush-mountable M12 sensor with a 4 mm sensing range and a PNP normally-open output; if the target material or mounting constraints demand a longer range or non-flush mounting, a different model would be required.

How does the 4 mm sensing range perform when the sensor is mounted flush in a metal bracket?

The 4 mm rated range is achieved with a standard steel target when the sensor is mounted flush; actual switching distance may reduce slightly depending on target size, material and temperature, but the PNP normally-open output will switch reliably within that 4 mm zone.
