Baumer IFRM 08N17A3/S35L Proximity Sensor

The Baumer IFRM 08N17A3/S35L is engineered to meet demanding automation needs where compact size, high frequency, and robust materials are essential. Featuring a nominal sensing distance of 2 mm and flush mounting, this sensor delivers consistent performance in short-range detection of metallic targets. Its cylindrical threaded housing, with a compact 8 mm diameter and 36 mm length, allows easy integration into tight equipment panels and precision automation assemblies.

Powered by a wide voltage supply range of 6–36 VDC and consuming just 12 mA in no-load conditions, it is designed for energy-efficient operation. The NPN Normally Open (NO) output circuit supports up to 200 mA of current, making it compatible with standard PLC inputs. Its quick 5 kHz switching frequency ensures real-time signal transmission in fast-paced environments like bottling lines, pick-and-place systems, or electronic inspection units. An integrated 3-port LED indicator enhances installation and troubleshooting by providing clear visual status feedback.

Built with a stainless steel housing and a durable PBT sensing face, this inductive sensor is protected with an IP67 rating, ensuring resistance to dust, oil, and water ingress—perfect for heavy-duty factory conditions. The reliable M8 connector simplifies cabling and maintenance, reducing downtime during sensor replacement. Trusted across industries, the IFRM 08N17A3/S35L combines rugged design and fast performance to support precision detection tasks in industrial automation. The IFRM 08N17A3/S35L is purpose-built for compact automation solutions where speed and precision are non-negotiable. It’s widely used in robotic arms, conveyor systems, and pick-and-place machinery to confirm part presence and position with millisecond accuracy. Its small form factor is especially beneficial in equipment with dense mechanical layouts or limited sensor mounting areas.

The M8 connector makes it easy to install and replace during system maintenance, while the flush-mounted design protects the sensor face from damage due to collisions or debris buildup. Industries like automotive assembly, electronics testing, and medical device production frequently rely on this model to support error-free operations and improve throughput. The fast switching response is ideal for applications involving small, fast-moving metal parts where every millisecond counts.

Whether you're upgrading a legacy system or designing a new line of compact machinery, the Baumer IFRM 08N17A3/S35L is a smart, space-saving choice for reliable inductive proximity sensing. Its solid construction and plug-and-play flexibility make it a favorite among Indian engineers and maintenance teams looking for dependable performance in real-world industrial conditions.
