The Pepperl+Fuchs NBB8-18GM60-A2 is a high-precision inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation. With an 8 mm rated operating distance (flush mounting) and a compact M18 threaded housing, it ensures accurate sensing even in space-constrained environments. Equipped with a PNP output (3-wire DC) and a wide operating voltage range (10–30 V DC), it integrates seamlessly with PLCs and control systems, offering reverse polarity and short-circuit protection for robust performance. A visible yellow LED indicator signals the switching state, aiding in quick diagnostics. Ideal for applications requiring precise position monitoring, such as conveyor systems, machinery control, or material handling, this sensor delivers consistent reliability and repeatability in industrial setups.
Built to withstand harsh conditions, the NBB8-18GM60-A2 features a durable brass housing with a nickel-plated finish and a PBT sensing face, resisting corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure. Its IP67 protection rating ensures dustproof and water-resistant operation (immersion up to 1 m), making it suitable for wet, dusty, or high-vibration environments. The sensor operates across a wide temperature range (-25°C to +70°C), maintaining stability in extreme heat or cold. With a switching frequency of 400 Hz and 5% hysteresis, it supports high-speed detection with minimal signal fluctuations. Easy flush mounting via its M18 thread and included mounting nuts simplify installation, while compliance with EN 60947-5-2 and UL listing guarantees safety and global compatibility.
This inductive sensor combines flexibility with advanced functionality, offering a nominal operating current of 200 mA and a lightweight design (70 g) for effortless integration into compact machinery. The 3-pin M12 connector enables quick and secure wiring, reducing installation time in complex systems. Its metal detection characteristics adapt to different materials (e.g., aluminum: 0.4, copper: 0.35 reduction factors), enhancing versatility across applications. As part of Pepperl+Fuchs’ trusted sensor portfolio, the NBB8-18GM60-A2 ensures seamless compatibility with industrial networks, delivering precision, durability, and ease of use for automation tasks in manufacturing, logistics, and process control. Trust in its proven performance to optimize productivity and system reliability.
