Inductive sensor M30 metal face 55 mm cable 2m PNP NC Sn = 13 mm FE

The NMF30014-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.

This M30 model provides reliability in industrial installations with intensive operation. The Ø30 x 55 mm housing provides maximum installation stability in heavy-industry systems and large production machinery.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, very large inductive sensor diameter provides maximum detection range
• Length: 55 mm, larger threaded mounting surface provides a more stable fit
• Detection range: 13 mm, non-contact detection of metal objects with high repeatability
• 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 full rated range for steel makes it easier to design applications without additional assumptions about range reduction
• Housing: Threaded, resistant to loosening during machine operation and vibration
• Housing material: Stainless steel, high resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, high mechanical resistance to impact, abrasion, and damage
• Mounting: Non-flush mounting, fully exposed detection zone provides maximum sensing range
• Switching function: NC, output disconnects upon detecting a metal object
• Cable length: 2 m, the absence of a plug-in connector eliminates extra points of potential interference
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, standard supply voltage range for industrial sensors

Applications

• Welding and resistance welding of steel structures – The FE inductive sensor is used at welding and resistance-welding stations, checking the presence and position of steel components regardless of aluminium tooling in the surroundings.
• Robots welding steel structures – Applications of the FE proximity sensor include checking the presence of components in robots welding steel structures.
• Presses for stamping and blanking steel – The steel detector is used in presses for stamping and blanking steel components.
• Automatic assembly stations – The FE inductive sensor performs well at automatic assembly stations, checking the presence of steel components before assembly.
• Automatic checking of steel presence – The metal presence detector is used at production stages where detecting the whole steel part matters, rather than individual aluminium contaminants.

Benefits/Features

• Metal sensing face – the resistant metal sensing face performs well in the immediate vicinity of machines where steel components are detected, and individual aluminium contaminants do not constitute the actual detection target.
• 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.
• Full range + steel – K=1 allows the rated range to be applied directly to the detection of the steel component, without any reduction.
• Contactless material checking – the solution enables automatic detection of steel components without physical contact with the part and without being aimed at aluminium contaminants.

When to choose this model

• For checking parts before stamping – the inductive proximity sensor allows checking the presence of a steel component before the press starts operating.
• For automatic metal presence checking – the metal presence detector can be used to confirm the presence of the actual steel part in the process.
• When aluminium should not trigger a detection signal – the model is designed for applications where the actual object is exclusively a steel component.
• For presses and stamping stations – the presence-checking sensor can confirm the presence of a steel part before the working cycle is carried out.
