Compact Design for Precision in Tight Spaces

The Pepperl+Fuchs NBN2-8GM50-E2-V3 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 stainless steel M8 cylindrical casing (8 mm diameter, 50 mm length), its compact form factor enables flush mounting, minimizing interference from adjacent metal surfaces while fitting seamlessly into dense machinery layouts. The sensor features an M8 x 1 connector for straightforward wiring and a 2 m pre-wired cable, streamlining installation in tight spots such as robotic arms or compact conveyors. A yellow LED indicator provides clear feedback on switching status, aiding in quick diagnostics. Weighing just 30 g, this sensor balances durability with portability, making it ideal for applications where precision and space efficiency are paramount.

Accurate Sensing with Robust Technical Performance

Designed for critical detection tasks, the NBN2-8GM50-E2-V3 offers a 2 mm rated sensing distance (flush mounting) with exceptional repeatability (±0.1 mm) and minimal hysteresis (≤0.1 mm), ensuring precise object detection even in high-vibration settings. It operates on a 10–30 V DC power supply with a PNP normally open (NO) output, delivering a stable 200 mA load current with short-circuit and reverse polarity protection. The inductive technology supports detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, guided by reduction factors (aluminum: 0.3, copper: 0.25, stainless steel: 0.7) for versatile material compatibility. With a switching frequency of 1500 Hz, it excels in high-speed automation, providing rapid response to moving targets in applications like precision assembly or quality control.

Durability and Compliance for Harsh Industrial Environments

Built to withstand demanding conditions, the NBN2-8GM50-E2-V3 features an IP67 protection rating, ensuring resistance to dust and temporary water immersion. Its stainless steel housing and PBT sensing face offer robust mechanical protection against shocks, vibrations, and chemical exposure, maintaining reliability in harsh industrial settings. The sensor operates across a wide temperature range (-25°C to +70°C) with integrated temperature compensation, ensuring consistent performance in extreme heat or cold. Certified to CE and UL standards, it meets global safety requirements for industrial automation, making it suitable for applications such as CNC machine tooling, conveyor belt monitoring, or robotic part positioning where durability and precision are non-negotiable.
