Baumer IFRD 08P37T1/S35 Proximity Sensor

The IFRD 08P37T1/S35 from Baumer is built with a quasi-flush mounting configuration and supports a precise 2 mm sensing distance, making it ideal for tight installation areas that still require high repeatability. It features a PNP break function (NC) output circuit, enabling fail-safe behavior in systems where signal interruption indicates an absence of the target object. With a switching frequency of 150 Hz, it ensures fast detection in high-speed processes. The sensor operates efficiently on a 10–30 VDC supply with only 20 mA of no-load current consumption and maintains a voltage drop below 2 VDC, supporting consistent output performance up to 100 mA.

Engineered with an 8 mm cylindrical threaded stainless steel 1.4404 (V4A) housing and matching sensing face, this sensor provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, aggressive chemicals, and physical wear. Its 46 mm housing length allows integration into a wide range of automated machines and control assemblies. Rated at IP69K, the sensor handles high-pressure washdowns, dust, steam, and even static operating pressures up to 20 bar. The M8 connector enables secure, vibration-resistant wiring in critical production lines.

The Baumer IFRD 08P37T1/S35 is widely used in automated safety interlocks, conveyor detection systems, metal presence sensing on rotating shafts, and in robotic pick-and-place operations. Its PNP NC configuration is particularly beneficial in safety-related circuits where detection failure should immediately trigger a system response.

Maintenance engineers appreciate this sensor for its ease of integration, thanks to its compact design and threaded housing, which fits easily into small control panels or machine brackets. With its hygienic-grade stainless steel body and pressure resistance, it is also suitable for food, beverage, and chemical applications that involve frequent cleaning or exposure to process fluids.

Combining robust materials, fast-switching electronics, and a space-saving footprint, the Baumer Quasi-flush Mounting Inductive Switch IFRD 08P37T1/S35 offers a reliable and efficient sensing solution across a range of demanding industrial automation tasks. It’s a preferred choice for OEMs and factory automation engineers who prioritize both performance and durability.
