Pepperl+Fuchs NBN8-18GM50-E0-Y241321 Inductive Proximity Sensor | 8mm Range, 18-30V DC, M12 | IP67

1. Sensing Performance​

The Pepperl + Fuchs NBN8 - 18GM50 - E0 - Y241321 is an inductive sensor engineered for precise object detection. It has a rated operating distance of 8 mm, allowing it to accurately sense metallic objects within this range. The assured operating distance typically spans from 0 to 6.48 mm, providing a reliable margin for various industrial applications. With a switching frequency of up to 1150 Hz, it can quickly respond to the presence or absence of targets. The NPN output in a 3 - wire configuration ensures compatibility with a wide array of industrial control systems. A distinct yellow LED switching state indicator makes it easy to monitor the sensor's operational status.​

2. Physical Structure and Durability​

Housed in a nickel - plated brass body with an 18 - mm diameter, this sensor offers a combination of compactness and robustness. The sensing face, crafted from PBT material, contributes to its reliable detection performance. It holds an IP67 protection rating, which means it can resist dust and withstand 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. Additionally, it can operate within an ambient temperature range of - 40 °C to +85 °C, ensuring consistent performance across different conditions.​

3. Electrical Specifications​

Operating within a voltage range of 10 - 30 V DC, the NBN8 - 18GM50 - E0 - Y241321 is well - suited for standard industrial power supplies. It comes equipped with reverse polarity protection, safeguarding against incorrect voltage connections that could potentially damage the sensor. 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, while the no - load supply current is ≤ 15 mA. This energy - efficient design makes it an ideal choice for long - term continuous operation in industrial automation setups.
