Benefits
The Pepperl + Fuchs NBB5-18GM60-I3 is an industrial-grade analog inductive sensor engineered to detect metallic targets without contact, providing a proportional 0–20 mA analog current output based on object proximity over a 1–5 mm range. Its M18 threaded housing and flush installation allow it to fit smoothly into industrial equipment and production lines, while the realistic output enables more nuanced feedback than a simple on/off switch.
Built for demanding automation environments, this sensor operates on 10–30 V DC, features reverse-polarity protection, and maintains high accuracy even with slight temperature variation. With an IP67 rating, nickel-plated brass body and PVC cable connection, it withstands dust, water and electrical noise, making it suitable for position feedback, material monitoring and analog measurement tasks in manufacturing and process control systems.
Features:
- Analog 0–20 mA current output for proportional distance indication
- 1–5 mm flush sensing range for precise metallic detection
- M18 threaded housing with flush mount integration
- Analog 3-wire DC connection (10–30 V)
- Reverse-polarity protection and low hysteresis
- Robust IP67 protection against dust and moisture
- Nickel-plated brass body for industrial durability
- Smooth analog signal ideal for PLC/analog inputs
