The IFRM 05P17A3/S35L from Baumer is a flush-mounted inductive sensor designed for high-precision detection in industrial automation systems. It features a nominal sensing distance of 1.6 mm and a fast switching frequency of 3 kHz, enabling it to detect metal targets in high-speed processes without lag. Operating on a 6β30 VDC supply voltage, it consumes only 12 mA in no-load conditions. The PNP make function (NO) output supports up to 100 mA current, providing stable signal feedback to controllers. With a voltage drop under 2 VDC, this sensor maintains clean electrical transmission even in demanding conditions. The integrated 3-port red LED indicator ensures easy monitoring of operational status during setup and maintenance.
The Baumer IFRM 05P17A3/S35L is built with a compact 5 mm cylindrical threaded housing and measures just 36 mm in length, making it perfect for installations in confined machine areas. Its housing is made of stainless steel for excellent mechanical durability, while the LCP sensing face offers resistance to chemicals and heat. The M8 connector allows for quick and secure cable connections, minimizing wiring time and ensuring vibration-resistant operation. Rated at IP67, this sensor performs reliably in dusty, wet, or vibration-prone environments. Its compact form factor and connector interface make it easy to retrofit into existing systems or integrate into OEM sensor arrays.
Applications of Baumer IFRM 05P17A3/S35L
The Baumer IFRM 05P17A3/S35L is ideal for precision sensing tasks in space-restricted automation systems such as robotic arms, packaging machines, assembly stations, and indexing tables. Its fast response time and compact body make it a preferred solution for detecting metal parts in high-throughput applications. Engineers commonly use this sensor for verifying component presence, monitoring moving parts, and detecting end positions in tight machine assemblies. The M8 connector streamlines cable routing and connection in modular industrial setups, while the red LED provides real-time feedback for quick diagnostics. Its robust stainless-steel body ensures stability even under mechanical stress, and the IP67 rating supports use in washdown zones or dusty environments. Whether for integration into OEM machinery or control panel retrofits, this subminiature switch offers unmatched performance in minimal space.
