Baumer IFRM 08P17A1/L Proximity Sensor

The Baumer IFRM 08P17A1/L sensor (Part No: 10138748) is engineered for demanding proximity detection applications that require fast response and stable performance. This flush mount proximity sensor offers a nominal sensing distance of 2 mm and operates on a wide voltage supply range of 6 to 36 VDC. Its PNP make (Normally Open) output is designed for applications requiring positive logic switching, while its output current capacity of 200 mA ensures compatibility with most PLCs and automation controllers.

Built with a stainless steel cylindrical threaded housing and a PBT sensing face, this sensor is highly durable and suited for harsh conditions. It operates effectively within a temperature range of -25 to +75 °C and meets the IP67 protection standard, making it resistant to dust, water, and oil ingress. The 5 kHz switching frequency allows for rapid detection in high-speed automation lines. Additional protections like short-circuit and reverse polarity protection enhance safety and equipment longevity. An integrated red LED indicator ensures easy visual feedback during operation. For engineers looking for precision, durability, and compatibility in compact spaces, this Baumer proximity sensor delivers outstanding value.

The IFRM 08P17A1/L is widely used in compact automation setups, especially in packaging machines, CNC systems, and robotics where precise object detection in flush mounting is required. Its small size (8 mm diameter, 40 mm length) makes it ideal for retrofitting inside tight machine slots or tool holders. Maintenance engineers trust it for detecting small metallic parts on moving conveyors or rotary tables without physical contact. In educational institutions, this model is often integrated into PLC training kits to teach students about sensor response times and industrial signal processing. Whether you're automating machine components or teaching future engineers, the Baumer IFRM 08P17A1/L provides dependable and consistent sensing every time.
