Baumer IFRM 08P37A1/S35L Proximity Sensor

The IFRM 08P37A1/S35L from Baumer offers robust and repeatable detection capabilities with a flush mounting design and a compact 8 mm cylindrical threaded body. It supports a sensing range of 2 mm and is equipped with a PNP break function (NC) output configuration, making it suitable for NO logic-based safety and control systems. This model also features a 3-port red LED indicator for real-time switching status, helping maintenance teams with quick diagnostics.

With a switching frequency of 5 kHz, this proximity sensor ensures fast response time, which is critical in high-speed industrial automation applications. It operates on a wide voltage supply range of 6 to 36 VDC, has short circuit and reverse polarity protection, and is capable of driving up to 200 mA load current. Its sensing face is made from rugged PBT, while the housing is constructed using corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring both strength and chemical resistance in demanding conditions.

The Baumer IFRM 08P37A1/S35L is IP67-rated for protection against dust and water ingress, and can operate reliably in a temperature range of -25°C to +75°C. With an M8 connector interface, the sensor allows quick plug-and-play installation, especially in space-constrained control panels. This sensor’s dependable electrical performance and rugged construction make it a preferred choice for OEMs and system integrators across factory automation, robotics, and machine tool industries.

The Baumer IFRM 08P37A1/S35L is purpose-built for accurate and fast object detection in limited spaces, making it highly suitable for compact automation systems.
