Founded in 1969 and based in Essen, Germany, ifm builds industrial sensors and control components for machine and process automation, from proximity switches to pressure and distance sensors. Seven Star LLC lists ifm position, distance and pressure sensors and supplies them by exact article number to plants and machine builders in Oman and the wider Gulf region.

Ifm sensors listed on this page

ifm identifies every device with a short article number, and that number is what we order against. Three are listed here:

  • O1D100: laser distance sensor for position and distance measurement
  • PN7093: pressure sensor with local display
  • NG5021: inductive proximity sensor with NAMUR output

Other ifm inductive sensors, pressure sensors and connection cables can be quoted on request when you send the article number.

Ordering ifm sensors: what we need

Send the six-character article number printed on the housing (two letters and four digits, or similar). If the label is worn, a photo plus the thread size, sensing range, output type and connector style is enough for us to check the part against ifm documentation. For NAMUR sensors, tell us which isolating amplifier is in the loop. Buyers in the GCC who need a successor for a discontinued article can send the old number and we will check the replacement the manufacturer names.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the order number on an ifm sensor?
ifm prints a short article number on the housing or on the cable tag, such as PN7093 or NG5021. A longer type description is often printed beside it. The short article number is the one to send, because it fixes the housing, range, output and connector in a single code.
What is a NAMUR inductive sensor such as the ifm NG5021?
A NAMUR sensor is a two-wire proximity sensor that changes its current draw instead of switching a load. It is wired to a NAMUR switching amplifier or isolating barrier, which makes it common in hazardous-area circuits. Check the approval marking and the certificate for the exact article before using it in a classified zone.
Can a standard three-wire sensor replace an ifm NAMUR sensor?
Not directly. A NAMUR sensor works with an amplifier that reads a low current signal, while a PNP or NPN three-wire sensor needs a supply and drives an input. Replacing one with the other means changing the wiring and the interface device, and any hazardous-area approval of the loop has to be reviewed.
What should I send for an ifm quotation?
Send the article number and quantity for each item. Add the matching connector or cable if you need one, since most ifm sensors with an M12 plug are sold without a cable. If a part is discontinued, send the old number and we will check which successor ifm documents for it.
Is Seven Star LLC a distributor of ifm?
No. Seven Star LLC is an independent industrial supplier based in Muscat. We source ifm sensors through commercial channels, check the model or order code against the manufacturer's documentation before quoting, and provide the manufacturer's datasheet and the certificates the manufacturer issues with the order on request.
