The list of IBM products is a partial list of products, services, and subsidiaries of International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation and its predecessor corporations, beginning in the 1890s.
Context Products, services, and subsidiaries have been offered from International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation and its predecessor corporations since the 1890s. This list comprises those offerings and is eclectic; it includes, for example, the AN/FSQ-7, which was not a product in the sense of offered for sale, but was a product in the sense of manufactured—produced by the labor of IBM. Several machines manufactured for the Astronomical Computing Bureau at Columbia University are included, as are some machines built only as demonstrations of IBM technology. Missing are many RPQs, OEM products (semiconductors, for example), and supplies (punched cards, for example). These products and others are missing simply because no one has added them.
IBM sometimes uses the same number for a system and for the principal component of that system. For example, the IBM 604 Calculating Unit is a component of the IBM 604 Calculating Punch. And different IBM divisions used the same model numbers; for example IBM 01 without context clues could be a reference to a keypunch or to IBM's first electric typewriter.
Number sequence may not correspond to product development sequence. For example, the 402 tabulator was an improved, modernized 405.
IBM uses two naming structures for its modern hardware products. Products are normally given a three- or four-digit machine type and a model number (it can be a mix of letters and numbers). A product may also have a marketing or brand name. For instance, 2107 is the machine type for the IBM System Storage DS8000. While the majority of products are listed here by machine type, there are instances where only a marketing or brand name is used. Care should be taken when searching for a particular product as sometimes the type and model numbers overlap. For instance the IBM storage product known as the Enterprise Storage Server is machine type 2105, and the IBM printing product known as the IBM Infoprint 2105 is machine type 2705, so searching for an IBM 2105 could result in two different products—or the wrong product—being found.
IBM introduced the 80-column rectangular hole punched card in 1928. Pre-1928 machine models that continued in production with the new 80-column card format had the same model number as before. Machines manufactured prior to 1928 were, in some cases, retrofitted with 80-column card readers and/or punches thus there existed machines with pre-1928 dates of manufacture that contain 1928 technology.
This list is organized by classifications of both machines and applications, rather than by product name. Thus some (few) entries will be duplicated. The 1420, for example, is listed both as a member of the 1401 family and as a machine for Bank and finance.
IBM product names have varied over the years; for example these two texts both reference the same product. Mechanical Key Punch, Type 1 (in Machine Methods of Accounting, IBM, 1936) Mechanical Punch, Type 001 (in IBM Electric Punched Card Accounting Machines: Principles of Operation, IBM, 1946) This article uses the name, or combination of names, most descriptive of the product. Thus the entry for the above is IBM 001: Mechanical Key Punch
Products of The Tabulating Machine Company can be identified by date, before 1933 when the subsidiaries were merged into IBM.

"It was collected over a period of several years from the alt.folklore.computers USENET group. I started out with the ones I knew, and slowly people contributed more items, until we have what you see. I could not point you to a single—or even a few—lists with attributions; it was a community effort." – Lars Poulsen That list is here IBM 024: Card Punch (electronic—tube, BCD zone codes); 1949 IBM 026: Printing Card Punch (electronic—tube, BCD zone codes); 1949 IBM 027: Card Proof Punch, 1956 IBM 028: Printing Card Proof Punch, 1956 IBM 029: Card Punch (electric—diodes & relays, EBCDIC zone codes); 1964 IBM 031: Alphabetic Duplicating Key Punch; 1933 IBM 032: Alphabetic Printing Key Punch; 1933 IBM 033: Alphabetic Duplicating Printing Punch IBM 034: Alphabetic Duplicating Printing Key Punch; 1933Machine Methods of Accounting, IBM, 1936 IBM 036: Alphabetic Printing Punch, 1930 IBM 037: Alphabetic Stencil Punch IBM 040: Tape Controlled Card Punch; 1941 IBM 041: Tape to Card Punch IBM 043: Tape Controlled Card Punch IBM 044: Tape Controlled Card Punch IBM 046: Tape-to-Card Punch IBM 047: Tape-to-Card Printing Punch IBM 051: Mechanical Verifier IBM 052: Motor Drive Verifier IBM 053: Motor Drive Verifier IBM 054: Motor Drive Verifier IBM 055: Alphabetic Verifier, 1946 IBM 056: Card Verifier (electronic—tube, BCD zone codes); 1949 IBM 058: Card Operated Typewriter IBM 059: Card Verifier (electric, diodes & relays, EBCDIC zone codes); 1964 IBM 060: Card to Tape Punch (5 channel) IBM 063: Card-Controlled Tape Punch IBM Data Transceiver: A 65 or 66 in combination with a 67 or 68 IBM 065: Data Transceiver Card Unit IBM 066: Data Transceiver Printing Card Unit IBM 067: Telegraph Signal Unit for 065/066 IBM 068: Telephone Signal Unit for 065/066 IBM 116: Numeric Duplicating Punch IBM 129: Card Data Recorder (integrated circuits—SLT, EBCDIC zone codes); 1971 IBM 131: Alphabetic Duplicating Punch IBM 143: Tape Controlled Card Punch IBM 151: Verifier IBM 155: Numeric Verifier IBM 156: Alphabetic Verifier IBM 163: Card Controlled Tape Punch IBM 210: Electric Verifier IBM 797: Document Numbering Punch; 1951 IBM 824: Typewriter Card Punch IBM 826: Typewriter Card Punch Printing IBM 884: Typewriter Tape Punch IBM 963: Tape Punch IBM 5471: Printer-Keyboard for System/3 IBM 5475: Data Entry Keyboard for System/3 IBM 5496: Data Recorder, Keypunch for IBM System/3's 96 column cards IBM 5924: IBM 029 attached with a special keyboard to allow input of Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters (RPQ) IBM Port-A-Punch: Port-A-Punch; 1958 IBM Votomatic: Voting machine (Port-A-Punch balloting, 1965)
