Pepperl+Fuchs Inductive Proximity Sensor NBN8-18GM50-E2-V1

Description

The Pepperl+Fuchs NBN8-18GM50-E2-V1 is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metal targets in industrial automation applications. It features a standard M18 threaded barrel for easy mounting and a non-flush installation that allows for an extended sensing range of 8 mm. Its robust brass, nickel-plated housing ensures durability in harsh environments. The sensor operates on a 10-30V DC supply and provides a PNP normally open (NO) output, connecting via a standard M12 connector.

FAQ

Question?

What does "non-flush" mounting mean for this NBN8 sensor?

Non-flush mounting means the sensing face of the sensor must protrude from the surrounding metal mounting surface. This allows for a longer sensing range (8mm in this case) compared to a flush-mountable version, as the sensor's electromagnetic field is not dampened by the mounting material.

Is the PNP output of this sensor suitable for connecting to a standard PLC input?

Yes, the PNP (sourcing) output is one of the most common types for industrial sensors and is directly compatible with most PLC digital inputs that are configured for sourcing (positive logic) signals. It provides a positive voltage signal when an object is detected.

What is the pinout for the M12 V1 connector on this device?

The standard V1 connector pinout for this 3-wire PNP sensor is: Pin 1 = +V (10-30V DC), Pin 3 = 0V (GND), and Pin 4 = Output Signal. Pin 2 is typically not connected on 3-wire sensors. Always verify with the official datasheet before wiring.
