Baumer IFRM 08N17A4/KS35L Proximity Sensor

The Baumer IFRM 08N17A4/KS35L is built to meet the demanding conditions of industrial automation, with a flush-mountable cylindrical threaded design that enables installation in tight machine zones. Measuring 8 mm in diameter and 50 mm in housing length, it provides a balance of compactness and performance. The sensor delivers a nominal sensing distance of 2 mm, optimized for detecting metal targets in high-speed operations.

This inductive proximity switch operates within a wide voltage supply range of 6–36 VDC and consumes just 12 mA at no load, making it efficient for 24V automation systems. It supports an output current of up to 200 mA via a NPN Normally Open (NO) configuration, with a rapid switching frequency of 5 kHz—ideal for applications requiring real-time detection. The durable stainless steel housing and PBT sensing face ensure long-term resistance to wear, corrosion, and mechanical stress. An integrated LED red output indicator enables easy diagnostics during setup or maintenance.

Connectivity is simplified with a secure Flylead connector M8, offering plug-and-play installation without complex wiring. With an IP67 protection rating, the sensor withstands exposure to dust, vibration, and temporary water immersion—making it a reliable choice for harsh industrial environments. Trusted by maintenance teams and OEM engineers alike, the IFRM 08N17A4/KS35L is ideal for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of proximity sensing in automated lines. The IFRM 08N17A4/KS35L plays a vital role in industrial automation where rapid, space-efficient sensing is required. It’s frequently installed in automated material handling systems, robotic grippers, and packaging machinery to detect the presence of metallic components with consistent accuracy. Thanks to its 5 kHz switching frequency, it responds instantly to fast-moving parts, enabling real-time control.

Its flush mounting capability protects the sensing face from physical damage in tight or collision-prone areas, such as indexing stations and conveyor junctions. The robust M8 flylead connector ensures secure signal transmission, reducing downtime due to loose connections. In industries like automotive, FMCG, and electronics manufacturing, this sensor supports efficient production flow and error-free part detection.

Whether retrofitting older machines or designing compact new systems, Indian maintenance engineers and OEM designers rely on the Baumer IFRM 08N17A4/KS35L for its durability, fast response, and ease of installation. It’s a dependable solution for improving automation precision, minimizing manual errors, and maintaining uptime in challenging factory environments.
