Engineered for precise and reliable detection in compact spaces, the Baumer IFRM 05N15A3/L: 10144446 is a flush-mounted subminiature inductive proximity switch with a 1 mm sensing range. It operates with an NPN Normally Open output configuration, optimized for industrial systems requiring rapid and discrete switching. With a high switching frequency of 5 kHz, it responds quickly to even the fastest moving metal targets, ensuring real-time accuracy in detection tasks.
Designed in a cylindrical threaded stainless steel body just 5 mm in diameter and 20 mm in length, this sensor is suitable for embedded automation, robotic grippers, and micro-assembly applications. It runs on a 6–30 VDC supply voltage and consumes just 12 mA of current, which helps in reducing overall system load. Its output can handle up to 200 mA, and the voltage drop stays under 2 VDC, enhancing operational stability. The sensor also features a red LED indicator for quick status visibility and ships with a durable 2-meter pre-wired cable for easy integration.
Rated IP67 for dust and water protection, and operable in temperatures from -25°C to +75°C, this model performs reliably in rugged factory environments. The sensing face is made of LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer), a material known for its resistance to heat and chemicals. These features make the IFRM 05N15A3/L a trusted component in automation lines, packaging units, and mechatronics labs. The Baumer IFRM 05N15A3/L is widely used in automated systems that demand precise positioning feedback within minimal space. In robotic systems, it detects the presence or absence of metal tools and workpieces at close range, allowing smooth control over pick-and-place tasks or component alignment.
In CNC machines and micro-assembly platforms, the subminiature form factor helps monitor part positioning without interfering with other moving components. The 5 kHz switching frequency is especially useful in high-speed applications like conveyor edge detection or small-part counting, where rapid response is essential.
This sensor is also used in laboratory equipment and academic projects where reliability and industrial standards are required. Whether you're automating miniature actuators, designing precision feeders, or integrating position verification in mechatronics projects, the Baumer IFRM 05N15A3/L provides the balance of size, speed, and performance that engineers trust.
