Baumer IFRM 08N37A1/L Proximity Sensor

The Baumer IFRM 08N37A1/L is a precision-engineered 2 mm flush mount inductive switch optimized for short-range detection in tight automation setups. Featuring a cylindrical threaded design with an 8 mm diameter and 40 mm housing length, this sensor integrates seamlessly into compact panels and machine cavities. It provides a stable nominal sensing distance of 2 mm and uses an NPN break function (NC) output for normally closed circuit logic. Operating at a high switching frequency of 5 kHz, it supports rapid signal response—critical in applications where speed and reliability are non-negotiable.

With a wide voltage supply range of 6–36 VDC and minimal current consumption of 12 mA (no load), this sensor is energy-efficient and easy to integrate into low-power systems. Its stainless steel housing offers excellent protection against corrosion and mechanical stress, while the PBT sensing face enhances resistance to oils and abrasives. The 2-meter cable connection ensures flexible wiring during installation, and the integrated red LED output indicator allows for quick visual diagnostics. Designed with a rugged IP67 protection rating and operational stability across -25°C to +75°C, the Baumer 2mm Cylindrical Threaded Switch is built for long-term performance in industrial environments.
