Inductive sensor M30 metal face 55 mm cable 2m PNP NO Sn = 13 mm FE

The NMF30013-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 standard product is an element of automation installations with increased durability. The large Ø30 x 55 mm size allows use in locations that require an exceptionally secure mount and a long service life.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, very large inductive sensor diameter provides maximum detection range
• Length: 55 mm, better resistance to shocks, vibration, and mechanical stress
• Detection range: 13 mm, stable inductive switching characteristics under industrial conditions
• 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, resistant to loosening during machine operation and vibration
• Housing material: Stainless steel, suited for operation in moisture, dirt, and harsh industrial conditions
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, high mechanical resistance to impact, abrasion, and damage
• Mounting: Non-flush mounting, wider lateral field of action expands application possibilities
• Switching function: NO, output activated upon detecting a metal object
• Cable length: 2 m, the cable ensures a highly reliable connection in industrial conditions
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, widely used power supply in control systems

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.
• Assembly of steel building structures – The FE inductive sensor supports the automation of steel structure assembly processes in the construction industry.
• 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.
• Compact detection layouts – The compact design of the FE sensor makes it easier to design steel detection stations in locations with limited installation space.

Benefits/Features

• Specialisation for steel – the solution was developed to detect the actual steel components, without being aimed at detecting aluminium and its alloys.
• Contactless detection of steel – the component can be detected without mechanical contact with its surface, while aluminium components in the surroundings are not the actual detection target.
• Durable construction – the monolithic construction increases the resistance of the solution used to check steel components.
• K=1 + actual range – combining these parameters makes it easier for the designer to determine the required distance to the steel part.
• Steel component position sensor – can check the position of a part in a machine, while aluminium components in the surroundings are not the actual detection target.

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.
• For checking the position of ferrous components – the model will perform well in applications where non-ferrous metals are present alongside steel.
• When aluminium contamination is present at the station – the steel detection sensor can be used to check the actual part without risk of false triggering from aluminium.
• When you need contactless steel checking – the contactless sensor allows checking the presence and position of a part without mechanical contact with its surface.
