PEPPERL+FUCHS NBB8-18GM60-A2-V1 Inductive Proximity Sensor

PEPPERL+FUCHS NBB8-18GM60-A2-V1 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The PEPPERL+FUCHS NBB8-18GM60-A2-V1 is an 8 mm flush-mount inductive proximity sensor with a PNP complementary output and 4-wire M12 connector. It is designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation. Pepperl+Fuchs specifies a 6–36 VDC operating range, 8 mm sensing distance, and -40 to +85 °C operating temperature range.

Important Precautions

• This sensor is a PNP type, so verify PLC/input compatibility before installation.
• Observe the 6–36 VDC operating voltage range.
• The specified 8 mm sensing distance applies to the reference target; actual detection distance varies with target material and size.
• Install the sensor flush and maintain appropriate spacing from surrounding metal objects.
• Use the correct 4-pin M12 connector and wiring configuration.
• Do not exceed the specified output current.
