The Baumer IFRM 08N1701/L: 10212019 is designed to deliver dependable sensing with a nominal sensing distance of 2 mm in flush-mounting applications. It features an NPN make function (normally open) output circuit, operating within a voltage supply range of 6β36 VDC. With a fast switching frequency of 5 kHz, this sensor ensures real-time response for high-speed automation requirements. Built with a durable cylindrical threaded housing (Γ 8 mm, length 30 mm) composed of stainless steel and a PBT sensing face, the device withstands industrial wear and tear with ease.
Additional protection features include reverse polarity protection and short circuit protection, enhancing safety and device longevity. The integrated red LED indicator simplifies diagnostics during installation and operation. Its IP67-rated sealing ensures reliable performance even in dusty or humid environments, with an operating temperature range from -25Β°C to +75Β°C. Supplied with a 2-meter cable for straightforward connectivity, the Baumer IFRM 08N1701/L is trusted across industries for its precision, resilience, and ease of use.
This miniature Baumer proximity switch is widely used in automated machinery where space is limited but high-speed, accurate sensing is critical. For instance, in packaging lines, it detects the presence of small components before sealing or labeling. In conveyor systems, it ensures items are correctly positioned without physical contact, reducing mechanical wear and maintenance needs.
Maintenance engineers value this sensor for its fast 5 kHz response when monitoring moving parts, such as gear teeth or cam positions. In CNC and robotic arms, the sensor plays a vital role in confirming tool positions or end-stop detection. Its IP67 protection rating makes it suitable for damp or dusty factory floors, and the robust stainless-steel build ensures it survives vibration-heavy environments without performance degradation.
Students and junior engineers can understand its working principle easily: the sensor generates an electromagnetic field, and when a metallic object enters this field, it triggers a signal. This simple yet powerful concept is applied in thousands of industrial control systems every day, making the IFRM 08N1701/L a popular learning reference and a reliable field component alike.
