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

The precise NMF30004-FE inductive sensor supports the control of steel production processes, ensuring stable and repeatable detection of the ferromagnetic component.

The M30 inductive model is a solution for systems requiring high operating efficiency. The larger Ø30 x 55 mm diameter translates into high resistance to shifting, vibration, and demanding working conditions.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, maximum detection range in this size class expands application possibilities
• Length: 55 mm, larger threaded mounting surface provides a more stable fit
• Detection range: 10 mm, non-contact detection of metal objects with high repeatability
• Detected materials: Steel and other ferrous metals (aluminium ignored), aluminium and its alloys are not the detection target, which eliminates unwanted signals in mixed-metal processes involving non-ferrous components
• Correction factor K: K = 1 for steel (full, natural sensing range), the K = 1 correction factor applies to steel and other ferrous metals as the reference material, meaning the rated operating distance Sn is the full, natural detection range
• Housing: Threaded, a standard solution used in industrial automation and control systems
• Housing material: Stainless steel, suited for operation in moisture, dirt, and harsh industrial conditions
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, dimensional stability under dynamic load conditions
• Mounting: Flush mounting, stable operating characteristics around metal surroundings
• Switching function: NC, signal continuity monitoring increases system reliability
• Cable length: 2 m, cable sensors have a fixed, factory-made electrical connection to the installation
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, stable operation in DC-powered installations

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.
• Checking before resistance welding of steel – The FE sensor supports automatic position checking of parts before resistance welding of steel components at welding stations.
• Production of steel wire and rope – The inductive proximity sensor supports checking the presence of steel wire or rope during production.
• Machining stations with aluminium dust and chips – The metal presence detector supports automatic checking of steel parts at machining stations, where individual aluminium filings and dust do not affect the detection result.
• Railways and rail infrastructure – Applications of the FE inductive sensor include checking the presence of steel track components and rail car parts.

Benefits/Features

• Total insensitivity to aluminium – the sensor does not react to aluminium components, filings, chips or dust present in the detection zone, eliminating false triggering in a mixed-metal environment.
• Detection of a single material – the operating characteristics are focused on detecting the actual component made of steel, not aluminium contaminants.
• Selectivity of operation – the ability to ignore aluminium, brass and copper allows operation to be focused on the actual steel part.
• Checking the actual part – the solution is designed to detect steel components, not aluminium fragments or dust present in the surroundings.
• Resistance + selective detection – the robust construction allows operation in a harsh environment, while the detection characteristics focus on the actual steel part.

When to choose this model

• For steel stamping – it is worth using it to check the presence of a steel sheet, part or component before starting the stamping cycle.
• When steel is the primary detection material – this sensor for steel will be a better choice than a solution selected purely as a universal metal sensor.
• When the sensor operates close to the machine – the metal sensing face and monolithic construction perform well in locations exposed to contact with the working environment.
• For robotising steel processes – the part-detection sensor can provide the automation system with information about the presence or position of the steel part.
