11078677 BAUMER ELECTRIC - IFRM 18P17A5/L

The IFRM 18P17A5/L is an inductive proximity switch manufactured by Baumer Electric. This sensor is designed to detect the presence of metallic objects without physical contact, offering a reliable and non-wearing detection solution. The sensing face of the switch is constructed from PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate), a durable thermoplastic polymer known for its excellent chemical resistance and mechanical strength. It has a nominal sensing distance of 8 mm, allowing for detection at a moderate range. The hysteresis, which is the difference between the switch-on and switch-off points, is adjustable from 3 to 20% of the sensing range, providing flexibility in application. A red LED indicator is integrated into the switch to visually display the output status, simplifying setup and troubleshooting. This proximity switch is suitable for a wide range of industrial automation applications, including position detection, object counting, and speed monitoring. Its robust construction and reliable performance make it a dependable choice for demanding environments. The IFRM 18P17A5/L offers a combination of precision, durability, and ease of use.
