The Baumer IFRM 08P17A3/S35L (Part No: 10138747) is a flush-type inductive proximity sensor designed for precise detection of metallic targets within a 2 mm sensing distance. With a compact 8 mm diameter and a 36 mm housing length, it integrates seamlessly into tight machine assemblies. The sensor operates on a 6β36 VDC supply range and features a PNP normally open output circuit capable of handling up to 200 mA of load current. Its 5 kHz switching frequency supports rapid response in high-speed automation processes.
This model is equipped with a reliable M8 connector for quick installation and maintenance, and a 3-port red LED indicator for status visibility, simplifying setup and diagnostics. Built with a stainless steel cylindrical threaded housing and a PBT sensing face, the sensor offers high durability and environmental resistance. It is IP67-rated, providing complete protection against dust and water ingress, and can operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -25Β°C to +75Β°C. Safety features like short circuit and reverse polarity protection ensure consistent, trouble-free performance in critical systems. These design elements make the IFRM 08P17A3/S35L a dependable choice for engineers requiring compact, high-frequency detection with long-term reliability.
The Baumer IFRM 08P17A3/S35L is commonly used in factory automation, robotics, and material handling systems where space is limited and high-speed metal detection is required. In conveyor systems, it ensures metal components are correctly positioned before further processing. In packaging lines, it verifies the presence of metallic parts in high-speed sequences, preventing missed operations or machine errors. The flush mounting makes it easy to embed into narrow surfaces or brackets, maintaining a low profile without compromising sensing accuracy.
Engineers prefer this sensor in applications involving tool changers, miniature actuators, and indexing tables due to its quick response and stable output. The M8 connector design reduces wiring complexity, enabling faster deployment and replacement during scheduled maintenance. Its rugged housing and high protection rating make it ideal for dusty, oily, or wet industrial conditions. Educational labs also use this model to train students on real-world sensor behavior, wiring, and diagnostics in automation setups. Whether in production lines or engineering education, the IFRM 08P17A3/S35L delivers measurable results with consistent precision.
