Baumer IFRM 05N35A3/L Proximity Sensor

Built for performance and precision, the IFRM 05N35A3/L from Baumer is a compact 1 mm NPN NC inductive sensor designed for flush mounting applications. It features a nominal sensing distance of 1 mm, making it ideal for close-range detection of metallic objects. The sensor operates with a switching frequency of 5 kHz, ensuring quick and accurate response in high-speed automation lines. Engineered for durability, the sensor has a stainless steel cylindrical threaded housing with a diameter of just 5 mm and a 20 mm housing length. Its LCP sensing face offers excellent resistance to chemicals and wear. The unit runs on a 6–30 VDC power supply and has a low current consumption of 12 mA, making it energy-efficient and PLC-friendly. The NPN break function (NC) output supports currents up to 200 mA. A 2-meter pre-wired cable simplifies connectivity, while the integrated red LED indicator provides immediate feedback. With an IP67 protection rating and an operating temperature range of -25°C to +75°C, this sensor is built to withstand dusty, wet, and vibration-prone environments.

The Baumer IFRM 05N35A3/L is ideally suited for use in compact industrial equipment, robotic tooling, and precision assembly systems. Its flush mounting design prevents accidental damage and ensures accurate readings even in vibration-heavy conditions, making it a perfect choice for CNC machinery and automated conveyor lines. In pharmaceutical automation and electronic part assembly, the sensor plays a key role in part presence detection and material handling verification. Thanks to the durable housing and wide operating temperature range, it can also be installed in environments exposed to lubricants, coolants, or fluctuating heat. The LED status indicator assists technicians in installation and troubleshooting without extra tools. Whether you're retrofitting legacy systems or building compact smart machines, this Baumer sensor offers long-lasting, consistent performance in every cycle.
