Baumer IFRM 05N35A1/KS35PL Proximity Sensor

The IFRM 05N35A1/KS35PL proximity sensor from Baumer combines miniaturized design with high-speed performance. With a nominal sensing distance of 1 mm and flush mounting configuration, it fits precisely into dense mechanical assemblies. Operating on a 6 to 30 VDC supply, it consumes only 12 mA under no load, ensuring energy efficiency. The NPN break function (NC) output is capable of switching currents up to 200 mA, ideal for fast-response automation lines. The 5 mm cylindrical threaded body is built from durable stainless steel, while the sensing face is made of LCP for chemical resistance. Its integrated Flylead M8 connector with 200 mm cable enables simple, sealed connections. With an impressive switching frequency of 5 kHz, this sensor offers reliable performance in applications requiring fast detection. Additional features like the red LED indicator, IP67 protection class, and operating temperature range of -25°C to +75°C make it ready for rugged industrial use.

The Baumer IFRM 05N35A1/KS35PL is best suited for high-precision industrial environments such as automated tool changers, robotic pick-and-place systems, and miniature conveyor lines. Its flush design and micro-sized form factor are ideal for OEMs building space-restricted machines like electronic component placers and small packaging units. The sensor's 5 kHz response time makes it perfect for fast-moving production lines, including semiconductor handling and printed circuit board detection. The flylead connector simplifies maintenance and retrofitting in low-clearance panels. Its stainless steel body and sealed construction offer resilience in environments exposed to dust, oils, and vibration, such as automotive plants and pharmaceutical lines. Whether integrated into new machines or replacing bulky legacy sensors, this Baumer proximity switch helps improve uptime and ensures accurate part detection with every cycle.
