Precise Object Detection for Industrial Automation

The Pepperl + Fuchs NBB1.5-8GM30-E2-C-V1 is an inductive proximity sensor engineered for accurate non-contact detection of metallic objects. With a rated operating distance of 1.5 mm and a flush installation design, it ensures reliable performance even in space-constrained industrial environments. The sensor features a normally open (NO) switching function and a PNP output type, enabling seamless integration with DC control systems. Its reduction factors—0.4 for aluminum, 0.3 for copper, and 0.7 for stainless steel—allow consistent detection across various metal types, making it ideal for applications requiring precision, such as small-part assembly or robotic positioning.

Stable Electrical Performance and Safety Features

Electronically, the sensor operates within a 10–30 V DC voltage range, offering flexibility in power supply compatibility. A switching frequency of up to 6000 Hz ensures rapid response to object presence, critical for high-speed automation processes. Built-in hysteresis (typically 5% of the rated distance) minimizes signal fluctuations, while reverse polarity and pulsing short-circuit protection safeguard against electrical faults, enhancing long-term reliability. The sensor includes LED indicators for operating voltage (green) and switching state (yellow), providing clear status feedback for maintenance and troubleshooting.

Robust Design for Harsh Industrial Environments

Designed to withstand demanding conditions, the NBB1.5-8GM30-E2-C-V1 features a durable brass housing with a PTFE coating, resisting corrosion and mechanical wear. Its IP67 protection rating ensures full dust tightness and immunity to water immersion, making it suitable for use in wet, dusty, or high-pressure 清洗 environments. The sensor operates efficiently across a wide temperature range of -25°C to +85°C (-13°F to 185°F), accommodating both extreme cold and high-temperature industrial settings. With a compact cylindrical form factor and an M12 x 1 connector for easy wiring, it supports straightforward installation and integration into existing automation systems.
