Precision Miniature Design for Close-Range Detection

The Pepperl+Fuchs NBB0.6-4GM22-E0 is a high-precision inductive proximity sensor engineered for ultra-close metal object detection in space-constrained industrial setups. With a compact cylindrical housing (4 mm diameter) and flush mounting capability, it offers a rated detection distance of 0.6 mm, ideal for applications requiring meticulous positioning, such as precision machinery or micro-component assembly. Operating on a 10–30 V DC supply, the 3-wire PNP output (NO function) ensures seamless integration with standard control systems, while a switching frequency of up to 1400 Hz enables rapid response in high-speed operations. A visible yellow LED indicates the switching state, facilitating real-time monitoring and troubleshooting. Its miniature design doesn’t compromise on performance, delivering consistent accuracy even in tight mechanical configurations.

Robust Construction for Harsh Industrial Environments

Built to withstand demanding conditions, this sensor features a durable stainless steel (1.4305/AISI 303) housing with an IP67 protection rating, offering full resistance to dust, water immersion, and high-pressure sprays. It operates reliably across a wide ambient temperature range of -25°C to 70°C, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including automotive manufacturing, food processing, and heavy machinery. Engineered with reverse polarity and short-circuit protection, the sensor ensures long-term stability and minimizes downtime from electrical faults. The rugged construction, combined with a 2 m PUR cable for secure connectivity, guarantees consistent performance in harsh, vibration-prone environments where precision and durability are critical.

Versatile Solutions for Automated Systems

The NBB0.6-4GM22-E0 excels in applications requiring high repeatability and minimal detection tolerances, such as robotic guidance, material handling, and quality control in electronics manufacturing. Its non-contact operation reduces wear and tear, enhancing system longevity, while the flush-mount design eliminates interference from adjacent metal surfaces, ensuring reliable detection without false triggers. The sensor’s compatibility with diverse metallic targets—including aluminum, copper, and stainless steel—along with its compact form factor, makes it a flexible choice for retrofitting into existing automation lines or integrating into new smart factory setups. Trusted by industries worldwide, it combines precision engineering, robust reliability, and ease of installation to optimize process efficiency and control.
