Baumer Electric IFRM08N1504PL Proximity Switch

Baumer Electric IFRM08N1504PL is a cylindrical inductive proximity switch from Baumer's IFRM family, designed for non-contact metal sensing in factory automation. It detects metal targets within its sensing range to provide a switch signal for conveyors, feeders, robotics, and automated tooling without physical contact, enabling reliable position and presence monitoring on compact machine layouts. The 8 mm-diameter cylindrical housing supports integration into tight spaces and is available with common connection options to fit typical industrial wiring schemes; the PL suffix denotes a leaded configuration that can be mated with standard harnessing. Applications include end-of-travel sensing on linear actuators, presence detection on parts feeders, and proximity-based control in automated assembly lines, where a metal target entering the sensing field triggers a logic or PLC input. The device operates as a switch output that changes state in response to metal presence within its calibrated range, simplifying integration with standard controllers and automation networks. For exact electrical specifications, target detection range, response characteristics, and environmental ratings, consult the Baumer datasheet for IFRM 08N models, noting that performance varies with configuration, mounting, and connection method.
