Pepperl+Fuchs NBN12-18GM50-E0 Inductive Proximity Sensor | 12mm Range, 18-30V DC, M12 | IP67 Protection

1. Sensing Features​

The Pepperl + Fuchs NBN12 - 18GM50 - E0 is an inductive sensor designed for precise object detection. With a rated operating distance of 12 mm, it can accurately sense metallic objects within this range. The assured operating distance spans from 0 to 9.72 mm, ensuring reliable operation. It has a switching frequency of up to 1150 Hz, enabling quick responses to changes in the presence of targets. The NPN output in a 3 - wire configuration makes it compatible with various industrial control systems. A yellow LED switching state indicator provides clear visual feedback on the sensor's operation status, allowing for easy monitoring.​

2. Physical Build​

This sensor comes in a durable nickel - plated brass housing with an 18 - mm diameter, offering both compactness and sturdiness. The sensing face, made of PBT material, is highly reliable for detection purposes. It has an IP67 protection rating, which means it can withstand dust and temporary submersion in water, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. The non - flush installation design, along with nuts for mounting and a tightening torque of 0 - 30 Nm, provides flexibility in placement and a secure fit. It can operate within an ambient temperature range of - 40 °C to +85 °C, further enhancing its adaptability.​

3. Electrical Specifications​

Operating within a voltage range of 10 - 30 V DC, the NBN12 - 18GM50 - E0 is compatible with standard industrial power supplies. It features reverse polarity protection, safeguarding against incorrect voltage connections. The short - circuit protection, implemented as pulsing, ensures the sensor's safety during electrical faults. The voltage drop is ≤ 3 V, and the operating current ranges from 0 - 200 mA. With a no - load supply current of ≤ 15 mA, it is energy - efficient, making it an ideal choice for long - term continuous operation in industrial automation setups.
