1. Sensing Capabilities
The Pepperl + Fuchs NBN8 - 12GM50 - E2 is an inductive sensor renowned for its precise object detection. 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 industrial applications. Boasting a switching frequency of up to 1150 Hz, it responds rapidly to the presence or absence of targets. The PNP output in a 3 - wire configuration ensures seamless compatibility with various industrial control systems. A vivid yellow LED switching state indicator offers clear visual feedback, making it easy to monitor the sensor's operation status.
2. Physical Build and Durability
This sensor features a robust nickel - plated brass housing with a diameter of 12 mm, offering a compact yet sturdy design. The sensing face, crafted from PBT material, contributes to its reliable detection performance. It holds an IP67 protection rating, meaning 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 5 - 36 V DC, the NBN8 - 12GM50 - E2 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 ≤ 1 V, and the operating current ranges from 0 - 200 mA, while the no - load supply current is ≤ 10 mA. This energy - efficient design makes it an ideal choice for long - term continuous operation in industrial automation setups.
