Compact design meets exceptional performance. At just 6 mm in height, the IF250 sensor packs a surprising punch—detecting objects up to 12 mm away. This combination of minimal thickness and extended reach sets it apart from standard cylindrical sensors, which often don’t fit into tight spaces. The result? New possibilities for automation where space is at a premium.

Ideal for Tight Spaces

Product Manager Silvio Sprenger explains: “Following our line of miniaturized sensors, we now offer an ultra-flat variant with the longest switching distance available in its class.” This new addition expands Baumer’s portfolio of high-performance inductive sensors. From tiny cylindrical models (3 mm diameter) to M30 designs supporting up to 24 mm reach, IF250 fits seamlessly into applications where standard equipment simply won’t fit.

Enhanced Safety

The compact design offers additional safety benefits. The sensor allows for longer installation distances from the target object—ideal even in critical environments. Built with robust metal components rather than fragile plastic parts and equipped with an easy-to-install mounting kit, IF250 ensures reliable operation during retrofit projects or upgrades to existing systems.

Versatility in Operation

Available as either a standard proximity switch (PNP or NPN output) or a measuring variant via IO-Link interface, IF250 offers flexibility. The digital transmission eliminates the need for shielded cables and high-resolution A/D converters while enabling easy parameterization through IO-Link. Features like diagnostic data and switching cycle tracking further enhance its capabilities.

From manufacturing assembly to lift mechanisms and door controls, ultra-flat IF250 delivers a powerful solution where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.
