The Pepperl+Fuchs NBN8-12GM50-E0-V1 is a high-precision inductive proximity sensor engineered for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in space-constrained industrial environments. Housed in a rugged M12 cylindrical casing (12 mm diameter, 50 mm length), its compact form factor allows flush or non-flush mounting, adapting seamlessly to dense machinery layouts. The 360° rotatable sensing head ensures optimal angle adjustment for challenging installation angles, while the M8 x 1 connector enables quick, standardized wiring. A visible yellow LED indicates switching status, enhancing real-time diagnostic feedback. Weighing just 46 g with included mounting nuts, this sensor simplifies integration into robotics, conveyors, or CNC machines where precision and space efficiency are critical.
Designed for consistent performance, the NBN8-12GM50-E0-V1 offers an 8 mm rated sensing distance (non-flush mounting) with 5% hysteresis to minimize signal fluctuations from vibration or material variance. It operates on a 10–30 V DC power supply with a PNP normally open (NO) output, delivering stable signals with a 200 mA load current capacity. The inductive technology detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals, guided by reduction factors (e.g., aluminum: 0.39, stainless steel: 0.7) for target material selection. Safety features include reverse polarity and short-circuit protection, safeguarding both the sensor and connected equipment. A switching frequency of 400 Hz supports high-speed applications, while the IP67 rating protects against dust and water immersion, ensuring reliability in harsh conditions.
The NBN8-12GM50-E0-V1 meets international standards (EN/IEC 60947-5-2) and carries CE, UL, and CCC certifications, ensuring global compatibility in industrial automation systems. Its nickel-plated brass housing and PBT sensing face resist corrosion and mechanical stress, making it suitable for use in wet, dusty, or high-vibration environments common in manufacturing, logistics, and process control. The sensor’s non-flush design reduces interference from adjacent metal surfaces, critical for dense machine layouts, while its wide operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C) ensures performance in extreme conditions. Backed by Pepperl+Fuchs’ reputation for reliability, it offers an MTTFd exceeding 1500 years, making it a trusted choice for long-term, high-precision sensing tasks.
