NBN8-12GM50-E2-V1 Inductive Proximity Sensor 12mm, IP67, M12, DC 10-30V | Pepperl+Fuchs OEM Automation

Impressive Sensing Abilities

The NBN8 - 12GM50 - E2 - V1 from Pepperl + Fuchs is an inductive sensor designed for accurate and reliable detection. With a rated operating distance of 8 mm, it can effectively identify metallic objects. In a manufacturing unit, it can easily detect the presence of metal parts on a production line. The assured operating distance ranges from 0 to 6.48 mm. Different metals have specific reduction factors; for instance, aluminum has a factor of 0.47, copper 0.43, 304 stainless steel 0.85, and brass 0.55. This makes it adaptable to various industrial scenarios where different metal materials are involved.

This sensor is engineered to function across a wide spectrum of operating conditions. It has an operating voltage range of 5 - 36 V, allowing it to be integrated into different electrical systems within industrial automation. Whether in a low - voltage control circuit or a high - voltage power supply setup, it operates stably. The switching frequency reaches up to 1300 Hz, ensuring a quick response. Moreover, it can withstand ambient temperatures from - 40 °C to +85 °C. This wide temperature tolerance makes it suitable for use in both cold storage facilities and hot industrial processing areas.

The NBN8 - 12GM50 - E2 - V1 features a robust construction. Its housing, made of brass with a white bronze coating, offers excellent corrosion resistance, which is crucial in harsh industrial environments with moisture or chemical exposure. The sensing face, crafted from PBT (green), is both sensitive and durable. It has a high protection degree of IP68, meaning it can be submerged in water without damage. Additionally, it comes with reverse polarity protection and short - circuit protection (pulsing), safeguarding the sensor from electrical malfunctions. The voltage drop is ≤ 1 V, and the operating current ranges from 0 - 200 mA, ensuring efficient and safe operation in industrial applications.
