Baumer IFRD 12P37T3/S14 Proximity Sensor

Built to meet the rigorous needs of modern industrial environments, the Baumer IFRD 12P37T3/S14 features a quasi-flush mounting type and a nominal sensing distance of 4 mm, offering precise detection of metal objects in close proximity without physical contact. It is powered by a 10 to 30 VDC supply range and operates with a low current consumption of just 14 mA, making it energy-efficient for continuous operations. The sensor is equipped with a PNP break function (NC) output, capable of handling output currents up to 100 mA, and provides a high switching frequency of 100 Hz for fast response applications. With a voltage drop below 2 VDC and controlled hysteresis (2–20% of Sr), the device ensures stable operation even in the presence of electrical noise. The robust cylindrical threaded design is housed in stainless steel 1.4404 (V4A), including the sensing face, offering superior resistance to corrosion, mechanical shock, and aggressive cleaning processes. Its IP69K protection rating and wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +100°C further ensure reliability in outdoor, wet, or washdown zones.

With a compact 12 mm diameter and 50 mm housing length, the IFRD 12P37T3/S14 is easy to integrate into machines with limited installation space. The standard M12 connector offers a quick-connect interface, minimizing setup time and maintenance efforts. Trusted by automation professionals worldwide, this sensor delivers dependable performance and long-term stability, especially in fast-paced production environments where accuracy and uptime are critical.

The Baumer IFRD 12P37T3/S14 is widely used in automated packaging machines, bottling plants, material feeders, and food-grade conveyor systems. In filling stations, it detects the presence of metallic bottles or caps with precision, even in wet zones. In CNC machines or robotics, it safely monitors part positioning without mechanical wear. Engineers value its stainless steel housing and IP69K rating, especially where sensors are exposed to water, steam, or chemicals during cleaning cycles. For Indian maintenance teams and engineering students alike, this model is a strong example of how durable design meets functional excellence. It builds confidence in sensor reliability across all automation levels—from pilot machines to full-scale industrial lines.
