Baumer IFRM 05N37A1/PL Proximity Sensor

The IFRM 05N37A1/PL from Baumer offers enhanced sensing accuracy with a nominal sensing distance of 1.6 mm, supported by a flush mounting design for seamless integration into tight assemblies. This inductive sensor operates with a dependable NPN break function (NC) output capable of handling up to 200 mA, making it compatible with various PLC systems and control modules. It functions within a 6–30 VDC voltage supply range and features a low current consumption of 12 mA (no load), which helps in reducing power usage across 24/7 machinery. With a switching frequency of 3 kHz, this model delivers rapid response in continuous motion environments. The stainless steel cylindrical housing ensures robustness against mechanical impact and corrosion, while the LCP sensing face offers resistance to industrial chemicals. Its 5 mm body diameter and 25 mm housing length provide a compact form factor, and the 2-meter pre-wired cable allows easy integration into control panels. The LED red output indicator simplifies diagnostics, and the IP67 protection rating ensures reliability in environments with dust, oil, or moisture exposure.

The Baumer IFRM 05N37A1/PL is ideal for use in machine tools, automated inspection systems, and position feedback loops in industrial robotics. Thanks to its precise 1.6 mm sensing range and rugged IP67 construction, it performs reliably in automotive assembly lines, metalworking stations, and small conveyor setups. The flush mounting design reduces the risk of damage and interference in compact or vibration-prone installations. Its ability to operate across wide temperatures and withstand mechanical stress makes it suitable for both OEM equipment and retrofit scenarios. Engineers choose this model for its combination of compact size, easy wiring with a 2-meter cable, and repeatable sensing performance in fast-cycle environments.
