The Pepperl + Fuchs NBB8-18GM60-A2-V1 is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor engineered for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial environments. With an 8 mm rated sensing distance (flush mounting) and an assured operating range of 0–6.48 mm, it ensures accurate detection of materials like mild steel, aluminum, and brass, making it ideal for precision-demanding applications such as assembly lines, robotics, and quality control systems. The sensor features a PNP output in a 4-wire configuration, enabling versatile integration with industrial control systems. A multi-hole yellow LED indicator provides clear visual feedback on the switching state, facilitating easy monitoring and quick diagnostics. Boasting a switching frequency of up to 1,350 Hz, it delivers rapid responses to dynamic object movements, enhancing automation efficiency.
Built with a durable brass housing coated in white bronze and a green PBT sensing face, this sensor combines mechanical strength with resistance to chemical and physical stress. Its IP68 protection rating ensures full dust tightness and withstands temporary water immersion, making it suitable for extreme conditions, including wet, dusty, or high-pressure washdown zones. The cylindrical design with an 18 mm diameter and M18 threading allows flexible flush mounting using included self-locking nuts (tightening torque ≤ 30 Nm), adapting to compact spaces. Operating across a wide ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C, it maintains consistent performance in both sub-zero and high-temperature environments, ensuring long-term reliability in rugged industrial setups.
Operating on a versatile 5–36 V DC voltage range, the NBB8-18GM60-A2-V1 accommodates various industrial power supplies while incorporating essential protections: reverse polarity protection safeguards against wiring errors, and pulsing short-circuit protection ensures safety during overloads. It features a low voltage drop of ≤ 1 V and a maximum operating current of 200 mA, balancing energy efficiency with stable signal transmission. The sensor connects via a 4-pin M12 x 1 connector, ensuring secure and reliable electrical connections. Certified with UL, DNV GL, and compliant with EN IEC 60947-5-2, it meets global industrial standards, making it a trusted choice for seamless integration into complex automation systems where precision, durability, and safety are paramount.
