Baumer IFRM 08N37A3/S35L Proximity Sensor

The Baumer IFRM 08N37A3/S35L is a high-performance flush-mounted miniature inductive sensor with a 2 mm nominal sensing distance, optimized for detecting metal objects in close-range, high-speed applications. Featuring a NPN break function (NC) output circuit, it’s well-suited for safety circuits and fault detection systems where an open signal indicates object presence or proper alignment. This model operates on a 6–36 VDC voltage supply range and consumes just 12 mA (no load), delivering both reliability and energy efficiency for automated environments.

Its 5 kHz switching frequency enables precise response in fast-moving assemblies and indexing stations. The cylindrical threaded stainless steel housing ensures durability against vibration, mechanical stress, and contaminants, while the 8 mm body diameter and 36 mm housing length make it ideal for installations in narrow industrial setups. The PBT sensing face enhances its resistance to oils and harsh chemicals, ensuring long operational life. The sensor is equipped with a robust Connector M8 for reliable signal transmission and a standout feature—its 3-port LED red output indicator, which provides clear, real-time visual feedback for easier commissioning, diagnostics, and maintenance. The IP67 protection class rating further guarantees performance in dusty or humid industrial conditions, and its wide temperature range from -25°C to +75°C ensures resilience across varied environments.

Applications of Baumer OT500.DL-GLIAJ.72F

The IFRM 08N37A3/S35L is widely deployed in metal detection systems, conveyor-based packaging machines, and robotic end-effectors that require fast, precise detection within tight mechanical tolerances. Its integrated LED status indicator is especially helpful in control cabinets and automated inspection systems, where real-time feedback reduces downtime and setup errors. The NC logic makes it perfect for use in safety interlocks, position verification tasks, and part-detection triggers.

For engineering students and junior technicians, this sensor introduces key industrial concepts such as signal logic and proximity-based automation. For senior maintenance engineers, the sensor’s fast response, rugged design, and built-in diagnostics streamline system reliability and reduce service intervals. The Baumer 3 port LED Red Miniature Switch IFRM 08N37A3/S35L is the preferred choice for manufacturers seeking compact, visible, and fail-safe inductive sensing in dynamic environments.
