Baumer IFRM 05N17A3/S35L Proximity Sensor

Engineered with precision, the IFRM 05N17A3/S35L from Baumer delivers fast and stable detection with a flush-mountable cylindrical threaded design. This inductive sensor offers a nominal sensing distance of 1.6 mm and operates on a 6–30 VDC supply range, consuming just 12 mA in no-load conditions. With a rapid switching frequency of 3 kHz, it is ideal for high-speed automation tasks. The NPN make function (NO) output handles up to 100 mA, ensuring strong signal reliability. Its durable stainless steel housing and LCP sensing face are built to endure harsh industrial environments. A compact 5 mm body diameter and M8 connector enable flexible integration, while a red 3-port LED indicator provides clear operational feedback. The sensor operates efficiently in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +75°C and is protected up to IP67 standards, making it resilient to dust and moisture exposure.

The Baumer IFRM 05N17A3/S35L is widely used in high-precision applications where sensor placement space is limited, such as in automated assembly lines, robotic arms, and PCB handling systems. It is particularly effective in detecting small metallic components in electronics manufacturing and verifying part presence in medical device assembly. Thanks to its fast response and rugged construction, it performs reliably in environments exposed to oil, vibration, or fluctuating temperatures—such as CNC machining and packaging automation. Its M8 connector and slim body make it a plug-and-play choice for system integrators looking for low-maintenance, long-life solutions. Engineers trust this sensor not only for its consistent detection but also for its immunity to mechanical stress and environmental noise, helping reduce downtime and improve machine efficiency.
