Baumer IFRM 08P1707 Proximity Sensor

The Baumer IFRM 08P1707 is a compact flush-mounted inductive sensor designed to detect metallic objects with high precision in demanding industrial environments. Featuring a nominal sensing distance of 2 mm, this sensor delivers accurate detection for close-range applications. It operates with a PNP make function (NO) output, commonly used in positive switching circuits where presence detection initiates a machine response. With a switching frequency of 5 kHz, this model ensures fast signal generation, suitable for high-speed operations like automated assembly or robotic part verification.

This model offers stable performance across a voltage range of 6 to 30 VDC and consumes only 12 mA without load, making it suitable for energy-efficient panels. The voltage drop is under 3 VDC, supporting low-loss power systems. It handles up to 100 mA output current, providing compatibility with PLC inputs and logic circuits. Built in a stainless steel cylindrical threaded housing with a compact 8 mm diameter and 30 mm length, it is engineered for mechanical robustness and long service life. The PBT sensing face enhances chemical resistance, while the 1-meter FEP cable supports flexible routing and withstands high ambient temperatures up to +100 °C. With an IP67 rating, the sensor is sealed against dust, oil, and water—making it a reliable choice for automation engineers seeking performance and protection in harsh industrial zones.
