AC2024 IFM Pressure Sensor Ultrasonic Distance Measurement Industrial Reliable

Product Specification

​1. Product Overview: IFM AC2024 Inductive Proximity Sensor

​
The IFM AC2024 is a rugged inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation environments. Featuring a compact cylindrical housing (M18x1 threading), this sensor is engineered to withstand harsh conditions, including dust, moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes (-25°C to +85°C). Utilizing electromagnetic field technology, it detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals with a sensing range of up to 8 mm, providing precise feedback for machine control systems. The AC2024 operates on a 10–30V DC power supply and delivers a PNP normally open (NO) output, ensuring compatibility with PLCs, robotics, and IoT-enabled automation platforms. Its IP67/IP69K protection rating makes it ideal for food processing, automotive, and heavy machinery applications.

​2. Key Technical Specifications​

• ​Detection Range: 8 mm (for mild steel).
• ​Output Type: PNP, NO (3-wire, 2 m PUR cable).
• ​Supply Voltage: 10–30V DC (±10% ripple).
• ​Current Consumption: ≤20 mA.
• ​Switching Frequency: 1 kHz.
• ​Housing Material: Nickel-plated brass (corrosion-resistant).
• ​Protection Class: IP67/IP69K (dust/water/high-pressure washdown).
• ​Operating Temperature: -25°C to +85°C.
• ​Certifications: CE, cULus, IECEx, ATEX (Ex II 3G Ex nA IIC T6 Gc).

​3. Industrial Applications and Use Cases

​
The AC2024 is widely deployed in automotive assembly lines for detecting piston positions, gearbox components, and conveyor belt part presence. In food and beverage production, its IP69K rating ensures reliable performance in hygienic washdown environments, such as bottling lines and packaging systems. The sensor’s ATEX/IECEx certification allows use in explosive atmospheres, including chemical plants and oil refineries, for monitoring valve positions and pump operations. Additional applications include position verification in CNC machinery, material handling systems, and automated storage/retrieval units. Its robust design also supports agricultural and construction equipment exposed to mud, debris, and extreme weather.

​4. Competitive Advantages and Unique Features​

• ​High Immunity: Stable operation in electromagnetic interference (EMI)-rich environments.
• ​Durability: Nickel-plated brass housing resists corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure.
• ​Flexible Integration: PNP output and M18 threading simplify installation in tight spaces.
• ​Safety Compliance: ATEX/IECEx certification for hazardous Zone 2/22 areas.
• ​Low Maintenance: Non-contact detection eliminates mechanical wear and extends lifespan.

​5. Functional Capabilities and Operational Benefits

​
The AC2024 delivers precise object detection with a response time of ≤1 ms, critical for high-speed automation processes. Its short-circuit and reverse polarity protection enhance system reliability, reducing unplanned downtime. The PNP output triggers real-time control actions, such as part counting or machine shutdowns, to optimize production efficiency. The IP67/IP69K rating ensures uninterrupted performance in wet, dusty, or high-pressure cleaning environments. By replacing mechanical switches, it minimizes maintenance costs and supports Industry 4.0 initiatives through seamless integration with smart factory networks.
