Baumer IFRM 05N37A3/S05L Proximity Sensor

The IFRM 05N37A3/S05L by Baumer offers advanced sensing capabilities in a miniature footprint. It features a nominal sensing distance of 1.6 mm and operates with an NPN break function (NC), delivering consistent switching performance in fast-paced industrial environments. This sensor supports a switching frequency of 3 kHz, making it suitable for rapid object detection in high-speed automation systems. With a power supply range of 6–30 VDC and a low current draw of 12 mA, it ensures energy-efficient operation without compromising response time. Its stainless steel housing and LCP sensing face enhance durability against wear, chemicals, and extreme temperatures ranging from -25°C to +75°C. The device includes a compact 5 mm diameter with a 24 mm housing length, connected via a robust Connector M5, ensuring secure integration in compact machinery or embedded panels. The IP67 rating guarantees complete protection from dust and water, while the dual red LED indicators offer visual status confirmation during installation or diagnostics.

The Baumer IFRM 05N37A3/S05L is ideal for industrial environments that demand compact sensing in tight spaces, such as in automated packaging lines, robotic end-effectors, or micro-positioning jigs. Thanks to its small size and flush mounting, it integrates easily into metal tooling systems, test benches, or semiconductor assembly machines where every millimeter of space counts. Its ability to withstand harsh temperatures and moisture makes it suitable for food processing equipment, automated warehouses, and pharmaceutical plants. Engineers and maintenance teams rely on it for precise metal detection in repetitive tasks, while OEMs value its ease of installation and long lifecycle in embedded designs.
