Pepperl+Fuchs NBN8-18GM50-E0WE Inductive Proximity Sensor | 8mm Range, 18-30V DC, M12 | IP67

1. Sensing Characteristics​

The Pepperl + Fuchs NBN8 - 18GM50 - E0WE is an inductive sensor engineered for accurate object detection. It has a rated operating distance of 8 mm, allowing it to precisely sense metallic objects within this range. The assured operating distance usually varies from 0 to 6.48 mm, ensuring reliable performance across different 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 makes it highly compatible with a wide variety of industrial control systems. A distinct yellow LED switching state indicator provides clear visual feedback on the sensor's operational status.​

2. Physical Structure and Durability​

This sensor comes in a durable nickel - plated brass housing with an 18 - mm diameter, offering a perfect blend of compactness and robustness. The sensing face, crafted from PBT material, contributes to its reliable detection capabilities. It holds an IP67 protection rating, meaning 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 - E0WE is well - adapted to standard industrial power supplies. It features 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.​
