Inductive sensor M30 metal face 55 mm cable 2m PNP NO Sn = 10 mm FE

The NMF30003-FE inductive sensor is an industrial-grade solution dedicated to checking the presence and position of ferrous components, even in an environment containing aluminium contamination.

The M30 industrial sensor features a robust construction and a wide range of applications. The Ø30 x 55 mm format supports applications in heavy industry, large machinery, and demanding automation systems.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, designed for heavy industry and demanding industrial automation applications
• Length: 55 mm, elongated housing with increased mechanical rigidity and high durability
• Detection range: 10 mm, repeatable signal activation distance ensures precise detection
• Detected materials: Steel and other ferrous metals (aluminium ignored), material selectivity allows aluminium, brass, copper and other non-ferrous metals present in the detection zone to be completely ignored
• 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, fastening with lock nuts ensures a stable installation
• 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: Flush mounting, the sensing face is flush with the mounting surface for a safe installation
• Switching function: NO, output activated 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, compatible with PLC systems and industrial automation

Applications

• Quality control in serial production – The FE proximity sensor supports the selective checking of the presence of ferromagnetic components in mixed technological assemblies.
• Steel cutting, milling and turning – Use in the automation of steel cutting, milling and turning processes increases production efficiency, even when aluminium fixture or guard components are present around the part.
• Transport and sorting systems – The inductive sensor for ferrous metals performs well in transport and sorting systems for steel components.
• Checking before steel welding – The inductive sensor for steel performs well at welding stations, where it checks the correct position of components before the process begins.
• Checking after machining – Applications of the FE proximity sensor include checking steel components after machining, even in an environment containing small aluminium fragments.

Benefits/Features

• Full-metal construction – a monolithic design machined from a single piece of metal provides high mechanical resistance and allows the solution to be used in demanding applications involving the detection of steel and ferrous metals, where the presence of aluminium filings or dust should not affect the checking of the actual part.
• No response to aluminium chips – chips generated during aluminium machining are not the actual object to be detected when checking a steel part.
• Part-position checking – enables automatic checking of the position of a part made of steel or another ferrous metal.
• K=1 + resistance to aluminium – combining the natural K=1 correction factor for steel with total insensitivity to aluminium is an important parameter when designing mixed-metal applications.
• Compact detection layouts – the natural, full range for steel can make it easier to design stations where installation space is limited.

When to choose this model

• For checking components before resistance welding – the contactless sensor enables checking the presence of a part without mechanical contact with its surface.
• For steel transport – the material presence sensor can detect the passage of steel components on a conveyor or production line.
• When aluminium should not trigger a detection signal – the model is designed for applications where the actual object is exclusively a steel component.
• When you need contactless steel checking – the contactless sensor allows checking the presence and position of a part without mechanical contact with its surface.
