Baumer IFRM 08N1713/L Proximity Sensor

The IFRM 08N1713/L: 10230286 by Baumer offers a dependable solution for non-contact metal detection in tight industrial environments. With a nominal sensing distance of 2 mm and flush mounting type, it can be seamlessly installed into metallic housings without signal interference. This inductive sensor operates within a wide voltage range of 6 to 36 VDC and consumes just 12 mA, making it suitable for energy-efficient systems. It features an NPN make function (NO) output capable of switching up to 200 mA, delivering clean, reliable signals. The 5 kHz switching frequency supports rapid object detection in high-speed production lines. The cylindrical threaded stainless steel housing provides robust protection against mechanical wear, while the PBT sensing face enhances chemical and abrasion resistance. With an 8 mm diameter and 22 mm housing length, this sensor fits well in compact spaces, and the factory-installed 2 m cable adds flexibility in wiring across panels and moving systems.

The Baumer IFRM 08N1713/L performs reliably across a temperature range of -25°C to +75°C and carries an IP67 protection rating, offering full resistance to dust and water splashes. A bright LED red output indicator simplifies installation and diagnostics, saving valuable maintenance time. Its rugged design and high-speed response make it well-suited for industrial machines, automated sorters, robotic assemblies, and control systems that require compact, reliable sensors with extended cabling. Engineers trust this model for both new projects and upgrades due to its performance consistency, ease of integration, and long-term stability under tough conditions.

The Baumer IFRM 08N1713/L is used extensively in conveyor automation, packaging machines, robotic arms, and test benches. Its flush-mount build makes it ideal for metal-embedded installations, while the 2 m cable offers extended routing in control cabinets and dynamic assemblies. In fast-moving production setups, its 5 kHz switching speed ensures real-time object detection without signal delays. This sensor is also preferred in environments where space constraints, vibration, or exposure to moisture are common. Maintenance engineers value its durability and LED feedback, while OEMs appreciate its ease of wiring and reliable signal integrity. Whether you're retrofitting existing machinery or building precision automation systems, this Baumer inductive switch delivers dependable performance and optimized sensing.
