Baumer IFRM 05N15A3/S05L Proximity Sensor

The IFRM 05N15A3/S05L: 10144454 by Baumer is engineered for applications requiring precise and repeatable proximity detection in extremely compact settings. Featuring a nominal sensing distance of 1 mm and a flush mounting design, this subminiature inductive switch delivers fast, noise-resistant switching with a high 5 kHz frequency. It supports an NPN make function (Normally Open) output configuration, compatible with a wide range of industrial controllers. Built to run on a 6–30 VDC power supply, it consumes just 12 mA when idle, making it energy-efficient for continuous operations.

The sensor body is a cylindrical threaded stainless steel housing just 5 mm in diameter and 24 mm in length, with an LCP sensing face that enhances thermal and chemical resistance. Its robust build makes it ideal for harsh factory conditions, backed by an IP67 protection rating and an operating range of -25 to +75°C. A 2-port red LED indicator provides clear on-site diagnostics, while the M5 connector interface ensures secure and modular cable attachment for quick replacement or wiring. With a voltage drop under 2 VDC and output current capacity of 200 mA, this model ensures stable performance under load.

The Baumer IFRM 05N15A3/S05L is a preferred solution for OEMs and system integrators working on miniature assembly systems, high-speed automation lines, and embedded control panels. Trusted for its reliability, precision, and size-to-performance ratio, it ensures seamless operation across a variety of industrial sensing scenarios. The Baumer IFRM 05N15A3/S05L is an ideal choice for machine designers and automation engineers working with limited space and demanding speed. Its subminiature design allows it to be mounted in extremely compact environments—such as the interior of robotic end-effectors or tooling assemblies—where larger sensors would be unfeasible.

In precision applications like small-part detection on conveyors, actuator positioning, and robotic pick-and-place systems, the 1 mm sensing range offers accurate object presence feedback with minimal delay. The 5 kHz switching frequency ensures that fast-moving targets are detected without signal loss or lag, even during high-speed motion cycles.

Its M5 connector interface makes it especially convenient for modular setups or systems requiring rapid sensor replacement. Maintenance engineers benefit from the LED indicator for on-site troubleshooting, while the rugged stainless steel housing ensures longevity even in vibration-prone or dusty environments. Whether used in automotive component lines, PCB assembly stations, or compact packaging equipment, the Baumer IFRM 05N15A3/S05L delivers precision, speed, and space-efficiency in one reliable sensor.
