Inductive sensor M30 metal face 55 mm cable 2m NPN NC Sn = 10 mm FE

The NMF30002-FE full-metal inductive sensor is designed for selective detection of steel and ferromagnetic materials, while completely ignoring aluminium components and other non-ferrous metals.

The M30 model represents a sensor line for applications in harsh operating conditions. Ø30 x 55 mm sensors offer a high level of stability in industrial environments with heavy overloads.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, high mechanical and environmental resistance guarantees a long sensor service life
• Length: 55 mm, used in large industrial installations requiring high reliability
• Detection range: 10 mm, stable inductive switching characteristics under industrial conditions
• Detected materials: Steel and other ferrous metals (aluminium ignored), detection focused on the actual steel part, not on individual aluminium filings, chips or dust remaining in the surroundings
• Correction factor K: K = 1 for steel (full, natural sensing range), the actual detection range allows a model to be selected based on the specific distance to the steel part, regardless of the presence of aluminium in the surroundings
• Housing: Threaded, a standard solution used in industrial automation and control systems
• Housing material: Stainless steel, resistance to aggressive industrial environments and mechanical damage
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, dimensional stability under dynamic load conditions
• Mounting: Flush mounting, mounting into metal surfaces per the flush standard
• Switching function: NC, constant signal monitoring within the control system
• Cable length: 2 m, the cable design withstands vibration and frequent installation movement
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, protection against typical supply voltage fluctuations

Applications

• Stamping and pressing of steel sheets – The use of the inductive proximity sensor supports automation of steel processing operations while completely disregarding aluminium process waste.
• Steel chassis and wheel rims – The inductive sensor for steel is used on production lines for steel chassis parts and wheel rims to check the presence and position of the part.
• Steel frames and structural components – The FE full-metal inductive sensor performs well on production lines for frames and structural components made of steel.
• Packaging and labelling – Applications of the FE contactless sensor include checking the presence of steel parts at packaging and labelling stations.
• Applications with aluminium filings in the surroundings – The ferrous metal detector performs well in applications where aluminium filings are present near the steel part and should not affect the detection result.

Benefits/Features

• Full, natural range for steel – the range specified in the documentation reflects the actual detection capability, making it easier to design applications involving steel components.
• Material detection, not contaminant detection – the solution is used to check the presence of the actual steel material, not to detect aluminium metallic contaminants.
• Construction for demanding applications – the full-metal design allows the solution to be used in machines where mechanical resistance and reliable detection of the actual steel component matter.
• Range without additional correction for steel – the ability to use the rated range makes it easier to select the right solution for a specific application.
• Steel + ferrous metals + K=1 – the combination of material specialisation and full, natural range is an important advantage when designing applications.

When to choose this model

• For automating steel production processes – the metal sensor can check the position and presence of steel components at successive production stages.
• For checking the position of ferrous components – the model will perform well in applications where non-ferrous metals are present alongside steel.
• When resistance matters during steel machining – the full-metal sensing element can be an appropriate solution for demanding production stations.
• For automatic feeding of steel components – the material presence sensor will perform well when checking the passage of a part through a specific point in the machine.
