10213082 BAUMER ELECTRIC - IFRM 12P3701/L

The IFRM 12P3701/L is an inductive proximity sensor manufactured by Baumer Electric. This sensor is designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects. It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, emitting a high-frequency electromagnetic field. When a metallic object enters this field, it induces eddy currents within the object. These eddy currents cause a change in the sensor's oscillation amplitude, which is then detected and converted into a switching signal. The IFRM 12P3701/L features a cylindrical housing with a diameter of 12mm, making it suitable for applications with limited space. It offers a sensing range of up to 4mm, providing reliable detection at a short distance. This sensor is commonly used in industrial automation, machine building, and robotics for position detection, object counting, and speed monitoring. Its robust design ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial environments, with resistance to vibration, shock, and temperature variations. The sensor is typically powered by a DC voltage and provides a digital output signal, compatible with most industrial control systems.
