The Baumer IFRM 08P17A4/S35L (Part No: 10155280) is a rugged flush-type inductive proximity sensor with a sensing range of 2 mm, specifically engineered for precision metal detection in fast-paced industrial environments. Operating within a voltage range of 6 to 36 VDC, it offers a PNP make (Normally Open) output capable of supporting up to 200 mA current. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial control systems and PLCs, even in noisy electrical environments. With a rapid switching frequency of 5 kHz, the sensor easily handles high-speed operations without lag or false triggers.
The sensor is housed in a durable stainless steel cylindrical threaded body with a diameter of 8 mm and a longer housing length of 56 mm, providing better mechanical stability during installation. Its PBT sensing face ensures resilience against impact, while the integrated 3-port red LED offers real-time feedback during alignment and operation. Installation is straightforward using a standard M8 connector, which reduces wiring time and simplifies maintenance. Rated for IP67 protection, the IFRM 08P17A4/S35L performs reliably in dusty, oily, or humid factory conditions. It maintains accuracy across a wide temperature range of -25Β°C to +75Β°C, ensuring consistent performance year-round. Safety features like short-circuit and reverse polarity protection add another layer of confidence for plant operators. With its blend of size, durability, and high-speed switching, this sensor is a go-to solution for engineers focused on optimizing machine uptime and sensor longevity.
The IFRM 08P17A4/S35L is a trusted sensor in the automation of packaging systems, part detection on conveyors, and assembly verification in electronics manufacturing. Its slim M8 design allows it to be embedded into compact equipment where space is tight but high performance is critical. In robotic systems, it detects end-effector or gripper positions without direct contact, reducing wear and extending mechanical life.
In tool changers and indexing tables, the sensor ensures accurate positioning by confirming the presence of metal parts with speed and precision. Its reliable output makes it suitable for low-voltage systems and energy-efficient setups where stability is a must. Educational labs and training centers also use this sensor in industrial automation kits to demonstrate real-world detection scenarios. With fast switching, robust housing, and Baumerβs trusted engineering, the IFRM 08P17A4/S35L is a smart choice for long-term sensing accuracy in modern factory floors and classrooms alike.
