Baumer IFRD 08N17T1/S35 Proximity Sensor

The IFRD 08N17T1/S35 by Baumer is designed with a quasi-flush mounting type and offers a precise sensing distance of 2 mm, making it ideal for compact detection zones where flush mounting isn’t feasible. Operating on a 10–30 VDC power supply, the sensor consumes only 20 mA of current in no-load conditions and supports a NPN make function (NO) output. Its switching frequency of 150 Hz allows for rapid detection of metal targets, enabling it to perform efficiently in applications with high-speed operations.

Constructed with a rugged stainless steel 1.4404 (V4A) housing and sensing face, this inductive switch can withstand static pressures of up to 20 bar, making it suitable for washdown or pressurized environments. It features a compact 8 mm cylindrical threaded design with a housing length of 46 mm, and is equipped with a reliable M8 connector for easy and secure integration. The sensor is IP69K-rated, offering complete protection against water, dust, and steam jets, and operates flawlessly in temperature ranges between -25°C to +100°C. Its voltage drop remains under 2 VDC, and it supports up to 100 mA output current. The Baumer IFRD 08N17T1/S35 is widely used in high-speed manufacturing lines, food and beverage production zones, CNC machine panels, and mechanical presses. Thanks to its robust stainless steel housing and IP69K sealing, it performs exceptionally well in applications involving frequent washdowns or exposure to oil, chips, and high temperatures.

Engineers working in harsh or compact environments prefer this model for its fast response time, pressure resistance, and ease of integration. The quasi-flush design is especially useful in systems where partial embedding improves detection accuracy without sacrificing mechanical protection. Its repeatable performance ensures reduced maintenance and consistent uptime. Whether it's integrated into robotic arms, metal-detecting gates, or industrial packaging systems, the Baumer Quasi-flush Inductive Switch IFRD 08N17T1/S35 provides long-term sensing stability with industry-grade durability. This makes it a go-to choice for plant heads, panel builders, and automation specialists looking for zero-compromise sensor reliability.
