The Baumer IFRM 08N37A4/L is a robust flush-mounted inductive sensor built for high-speed metal detection in industrial environments. It features a precise 2 mm nominal sensing distance and operates on an NPN break function (NC) output circuit, commonly used for safety verification and normally closed logic. The sensor runs efficiently across a voltage supply range of 6β36 VDC and maintains low power draw with a 12 mA maximum no-load current. Its 5 kHz switching frequency allows real-time response in automated lines with rapid part movement or tight cycle times.
Designed with an 8 mm cylindrical threaded body and 50 mm housing length, the unit is ideal for tight industrial enclosures and custom mounting setups. The stainless steel housing ensures high mechanical strength and long-term corrosion resistance, while the PBT sensing face resists wear from oils, chemicals, and mechanical cleaning. The integrated LED red output indicator provides instant signal status during installation or diagnostics. This model features a durable 2-meter cable connection for flexible routing in control panels and machinery layouts. Rated at IP67, it performs reliably even in harsh conditions, including dusty, wet, or vibration-prone environments. The Baumer 2 m Cable Miniature Inductive Switch IFRM 08N37A4/L is trusted by engineers for its simplicity, speed, and ruggedness in automated sensing tasks.
Applications of Baumer OT500.DL-GLIAJ.72F
The IFRM 08N37A4/L is ideal for conveyor systems, metal part feeders, and robotic assembly stations where compact size and accurate part detection are essential. Its NC output is widely used in fail-safe systemsβincluding part presence checks and position confirmations in safety-critical workflows. The sensorβs 2-meter cable provides wiring flexibility in both fixed and mobile machine setups, especially in tight or enclosed configurations.
For engineering students and junior maintenance staff, this model offers a hands-on learning opportunity in wiring, diagnostics, and proximity signal logic. For senior automation professionals, its rapid switching, tough construction, and integrated diagnostics reduce maintenance time and improve line stability. The Baumer IFRM 08N37A4/L delivers the perfect mix of durability, performance, and installation ease for industrial automation environments.
