Baumer IFRM 05N15A3/S35L Proximity Sensor

The IFRM 05N15A3/S35L from Baumer features a compact 5 mm diameter cylindrical housing with flush mounting, making it ideal for tight space applications. Engineered with a durable stainless steel body and an LCP sensing face, this proximity sensor delivers a nominal sensing distance of 1 mm and offers stable operation with hysteresis between 2–20%. It supports an NPN normally open output configuration and provides up to 200 mA output current. The integrated 3-port red LED indicator enhances visual feedback during operation. Operating on a 6–30 VDC power supply, it supports fast detection with a switching frequency of 5 kHz, and includes both short-circuit and reverse polarity protection. The sensor’s IP67 rating guarantees reliable operation in dusty and wet environments, and it remains stable across a wide temperature range of -25°C to +75°C.

With its threaded cylindrical design and M8 connector interface, the Baumer IFRM 05N15A3/S35L ensures easy and secure installation in automation panels, pick-and-place systems, robotic arms, and other motion-sensitive systems. This model delivers consistent and reliable proximity sensing performance, especially in scenarios where precise part positioning and presence detection are crucial. Backed by Baumer’s commitment to quality and German engineering precision, it’s a preferred choice across industries such as automotive assembly, material handling, electronics testing, and general-purpose automation.

This Baumer 3 Port LED Proximity Sensor is widely used in machine automation where precise part detection is essential. In CNC and milling machines, it helps confirm tool or component presence before operation begins. In automated conveyor systems, it detects small parts with high frequency thanks to its 5 kHz switching speed. Due to its flush mounting and small housing, it’s suitable for installations in space-limited control panels or fixtures. Maintenance engineers also prefer it for its easy M8 connector integration and long-term stability even in harsh industrial conditions. Engineering students and junior technicians often explore this model for learning about practical sensor integration in real-world automation setups, as it combines compact design with robust specifications. Overall, this sensor is built to improve safety, accuracy, and system responsiveness across a wide range of industrial automation setups.
