Baumer IFRM 12P1701/S35L Proximity Sensor

The IFRM 12P1701/S35L from Baumer is engineered to deliver high-speed, contactless sensing with remarkable stability. This inductive proximity sensor features a 4 mm nominal sensing distance and a flush mounting design, making it ideal for space-constrained automation setups. Built into a 12 mm cylindrical threaded housing, it combines robust performance with compact installation flexibility. The sensor’s PNP make function (NO) output makes it compatible with standard sourcing input modules, ensuring seamless integration with most PLC systems.

With a fast 2 kHz switching frequency, the sensor excels in dynamic production lines, sorting systems, and high-speed assembly machines. It operates reliably on a 6 to 36 VDC voltage supply and supports up to 200 mA output current. Designed for industrial-grade reliability, the model offers short-circuit protection and reverse polarity protection, minimizing downtime and protecting critical control equipment. A 3-port red LED indicator on the sensor body provides instant visual feedback on output status, which helps with quick commissioning and maintenance checks.

The housing is built with nickel-plated brass for superior mechanical durability, while the PBT sensing face resists impact and chemical wear. Its M8 connector supports quick, plug-and-play installation, particularly useful in modular or mobile systems. Rated with a robust IP67 protection class, this sensor performs reliably even in dusty, wet, or oily environments. The operational temperature range of -25°C to +75°C ensures stable functionality across a wide variety of factory conditions. The Baumer IFRM 12P1701/S35L is a trusted solution for engineers looking to enhance detection speed, minimize false triggers, and build dependable sensing into every machine cycle.
