Design and Build

The Pepperl + Fuchs NBN8 - 18GM50 - E0 - Y241321 features a well - crafted design. Its 18 - mm diameter cylindrical housing, made of durable nickel - plated brass, ensures long - lasting use in industrial settings. The 50 - mm length strikes a balance between compactness and functionality, allowing for easy integration into various machinery. With a non - flush installation type, the PBT - made sensing face is optimally positioned to detect metallic objects within its 8 - mm rated sensing distance. This design is perfect for applications where precision and reliable object detection are crucial.

Electronically, this inductive sensor operates on a DC voltage ranging from 10 - 30 V. It has an NPN output type with a normally open (NO) switching function, which is highly compatible with industrial control systems. The switching frequency can reach up to approximately 1500 Hz, enabling quick responses to object presence. Built - in reverse polarity protection safeguards the sensor from incorrect voltage connections. With a voltage drop of ≤ 3 V and an operating current range of 0 - 200 mA, it can stably interact with other components in an industrial setup, providing accurate control signals.

Engineered to withstand diverse environmental conditions, the NBN8 - 18GM50 - E0 - Y241321 can function within an ambient temperature range from - 25 °C to 70 °C (-13 °F to 158 °F). It likely has an IP67 protection rating, offering high resistance to dust and water immersion. This makes it suitable for use in factories with high humidity, dusty workshops, or areas where water splashing may occur. The connection via a cable provides flexibility in installation, ensuring seamless integration into different industrial configurations.
