Baumer IFFM 08P1703/O1L Proximity Sensor

The Baumer IFFM 08P1703/O1L is built with a flush mounting type and an 8 mm body dimension, making it ideal for integration in tight spaces. It offers a reliable nominal sensing distance of 2 mm with hysteresis ranging from 3% to 20% of Sr, ensuring stable detection even in environments prone to vibration. Powered within a broad 6–36 VDC supply range, the sensor supports a PNP make function (NO) output circuit and delivers a fast switching frequency of 5 kHz, making it suitable for dynamic part detection in fast-moving systems.

Designed to perform in industrial-grade environments, the IFFM 08P1703/O1L features a rugged die-cast zinc, nickel-plated housing combined with a PBT sensing face. Its compact 20 mm housing length and integrated 2-meter cable enable quick, secure wiring during installation. With built-in protections like short circuit protection and reverse polarity protection, the sensor ensures operational safety and longevity. The clearly visible red LED indicator provides real-time feedback on detection status, and the IP67-rated enclosure guarantees performance even in dusty, wet, or oily environments. Operational within a wide temperature range of -25 to +75 °C, this sensor is a dependable choice for machine builders and system integrators requiring consistent performance under harsh conditions.

Backed by Baumer's engineering excellence and built for long-term industrial use, the IFFM 08P1703/O1L proximity sensor offers reliability, speed, and integration ease. The Baumer IFFM 08P1703/O1L is ideal for detecting metallic components in confined spaces where precision and speed are critical. It is commonly used in automatic assembly stations to confirm the presence of small parts like bolts, bushings, or washers before the next process is triggered. Thanks to its flush design and short sensing range, it eliminates false triggers from surrounding machine elements, making it suitable for tooling applications.

Maintenance engineers trust this sensor in packaging lines, pneumatic equipment, and compact jigs where traditional sensors can't fit. Its 2 mm sensing distance ensures clean, contactless operation near moving mechanical parts. The robust construction allows it to withstand mechanical shocks and vibration during continuous operation. Technicians find the LED indicator helpful during quick diagnostics, especially when aligning sensors in hard-to-reach areas.

For engineering students and control system learners, this Baumer proximity sensor serves as a hands-on example of how short-range object detection works in factory settings. It allows practical experimentation with PLCs, timers, and counters in real-world scenarios. Whether you're setting up a basic automation task or building a compact sensing module, the IFFM 08P1703/O1L offers performance you can rely on.
