Inductive sensor M30 metal face 78 mm connector M12 PNP NO Sn = 10 mm NF

The NMF30103-NF full-metal inductive sensor provides the full rated sensing range for aluminium (K = 1), without the typical range reduction applied to non-ferrous metals.

The M30 sensor ensures continuous operation in monitoring and control systems. The large Ø30 x 78 mm size allows use in locations that require an exceptionally secure mount and a long service life.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, stable operation at long detection distances and under intensive use
• Length: 78 mm, suited for operation in demanding industrial conditions
• Detection range: 10 mm, stable inductive switching characteristics under industrial conditions
• Detected materials: Aluminium and other non-ferrous metals (steel ignored), material selectivity makes it possible to disregard fine metal residue that should not be treated as the actual workpiece
• Correction factor K: K = 1 for aluminium (full rated sensing range), the full rated range for aluminium makes it easier to design applications without additional assumptions about range reduction
• Housing: Threaded, allows precise positioning of the sensor during installation
• Housing material: Stainless steel, increased mechanical strength of the housing ensures a long service life
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, resistance to corrosion in humid and chemical environments
• Mounting: Flush mounting, mounting into metal surfaces per the flush standard
• Switching function: NO, standard operating logic for inductive sensors in industrial automation
• Plug type: M12, connector sensors provide high vibration resistance and signal stability
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, standard supply voltage range for industrial sensors

Applications

• Aluminium component production lines – The NF inductive sensor is used on aluminium component production lines to check the presence of parts after machining.
• CNC machines – The NF inductive sensor is used in CNC machines to check the position of aluminium parts and tools.
• Electronic enclosures – Use in the production of aluminium electronic enclosures supports automatic assembly control.
• Automatic assembly stations – The NF inductive sensor performs well at automatic assembly stations, checking the presence of aluminium components before assembly.
• Positioning of aluminium parts – The NF inductive sensor supports the positioning of aluminium parts when correct part alignment is a precondition for the next operation.

Benefits/Features

• K = 1 for aluminium – the K = 1 correction factor allows the rated range to be used for detecting aluminium, without having to account for the typical range reduction applied to this material.
• Part presence sensor – can check the presence of an aluminium part at a specific location without having to react to stray material particles.
• Proximity sensor for non-ferrous metals – performs well for non-contact inspection of aluminium parts and other non-ferrous metals.
• Range without additional correction for aluminium – the ability to use the rated range makes it easier to select the solution for a specific application.
• Comprehensive solution for aluminium detection – the full-metal monolithic construction, metal sensing face, K = 1, actual sensing range and focus on the actual workpiece combine to create a solution for demanding industrial applications.

When to choose this model

• For inspecting parts after cutting – the part-presence sensor will work well for automatically confirming that an aluminium workpiece is in the correct position.
• For non-ferrous metal detection – choose this model when you need a proximity sensor to inspect parts made of aluminium or other non-ferrous materials.
• When the process generates aluminium filings – choose this model if the actual detection target is a larger, solid workpiece, and individual filings should not be treated as the actual part.
• When you need non-contact aluminium inspection – the non-contact sensor makes it possible to check the presence and position of a part without mechanical contact with its surface.
