Pepperl+Fuchs NBN8-12GM50-A0-V1 Inductive Proximity Sensor | 8mm Range, 12-24V DC, M12 | IP67

1. Sensing Capabilities​

The Pepperl + Fuchs NBN8 - 12GM50 - A0 - V1 is an inductive sensor designed for precise object detection in industrial settings. With a rated operating distance of 8 mm, it can accurately identify metallic objects within this range. The assured operating distance typically spans from 0 to 6.48 mm, providing a reliable margin for various applications. It features a switching frequency of up to 1150 Hz, allowing for rapid response to the presence or absence of targets. The NPN output in a 3 - wire configuration ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial control systems. A yellow LED switching state indicator offers clear visual feedback on the sensor's operational status, making it easy to monitor in real - time.​

2. Physical Build and Durability​

Housed in a nickel - plated brass body with a 12 - mm diameter, this sensor offers a compact yet robust design. 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 endure 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 - 12GM50 - A0 - V1 is well - equipped to handle standard industrial power supplies. It comes 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.
