Baumer IFRM 05N35A5/Q Proximity Sensor

The IFRM 05N35A5/Q from Baumer features a flush mounting type with a 1 mm nominal sensing distance, offering reliable short-range metal detection in automated systems. It operates with a switching frequency of 5 kHz, making it suitable for applications where rapid sensing is essential. This inductive sensor runs efficiently on a 6–30 VDC supply range, drawing a low current of just 12 mA (no load), helping conserve energy in 24/7 industrial applications. The NPN break function (NC) output supports up to 200 mA output current, ensuring solid compatibility with modern PLCs and input circuits. Constructed with a durable stainless steel housing and LCP sensing face, it resists corrosion, wear, and harsh environmental conditions. The unit is compact with a 5 mm diameter and 15 mm length, and comes pre-wired with 0.5 m wires, making it easy to install in tight enclosures or embedded into machine panels. With an operating temperature range from -25°C to +75°C and an IP67 protection rating, this sensor is highly reliable for demanding industrial tasks.

The Baumer IFRM 05N35A5/Q is ideal for embedded control systems, compact tooling fixtures, and high-speed pick-and-place automation. Its small form factor and 0.5 m wire length make it especially useful in control cabinets, robotic grippers, and sensor clusters in tight locations. In electronics assembly and medical packaging lines, it ensures part presence verification with speed and consistency. The flush design allows seamless installation on machine surfaces without protrusion, reducing the risk of physical damage. The sensor’s quick connect capability via pre-attached wiring simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime. Whether it’s deployed in OEM machines or retrofitted into legacy systems, this Baumer model offers long-term stability, minimal signal loss, and highly repeatable sensing results.
