Inductive sensor M8 metal face 45 mm cable 2m NPN NC Sn = 1 mm NF

The industrial NMF08002-NF inductive sensor in the NF version stands out for its material selectivity - it detects aluminium and non-ferrous metals while ignoring steel and its derivatives.

M8 sensors provide stable operation in limited working spaces. The short Ø8 x 45 mm length allows installation in shallow working spaces of machines and industrial equipment.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M8, commonly used in industrial automation and process control systems
• Length: 45 mm, versatile dimensions for most industrial automation applications
• Detection range: 1 mm, stable inductive switching characteristics under industrial conditions
• Detected materials: Aluminium and other non-ferrous metals (steel ignored), detection focused on the actual aluminium part, not on individual filings or chips generated during machining
• 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, suited for operation in moisture, dirt, and harsh industrial conditions
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, increased durability of the sensor's active face under intensive use
• Mounting: Flush mounting, reduced sensitivity to mechanical damage during use
• Switching function: NC, constant signal monitoring within the control system
• 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

• Positioning of aluminium profiles – Using the part-position sensor in aluminium profile positioning systems increases the reliability of industrial automation processes.
• CNC machines – The NF inductive sensor is used in CNC machines to check the position of aluminium parts and tools.
• Bicycle frames and components – The NF full-metal inductive sensor performs well on production lines for aluminium bicycle frames and components.
• Packaging and labelling – Applications of the NF non-contact sensor include checking the presence of aluminium parts at packaging and labelling stations.
• Compact detection setups – The compact design of the NF sensor makes it easier to design aluminium detection stations in locations with limited installation space.

Benefits/Features

• Actual sensing range – the designer can select the model based on the actual distance to the aluminium workpiece, instead of applying additional assumptions about range reduction.
• Stable inspection of the actual part – detection focused on the actual material allows the solution's operation to be better matched to applications involving aluminium and non-ferrous metals.
• Construction for demanding applications – the full-metal design allows the solution to be used in machines where mechanical resistance and reliable detection of the actual part are important.
• K = 1 + actual range – the combination of these parameters makes it easier for the designer to determine the required distance to the aluminium workpiece.
• Aluminium + non-ferrous metals + K = 1 – the combination of material specialization and full rated range is an important advantage when designing applications.

When to choose this model

• For aluminium welding – choose this model for automatic position checking of aluminium parts during preparation and operation of welding stations.
• For automatic metal presence inspection – the metal presence detector can be used to confirm the presence of the actual aluminium workpiece in the process.
• When you need to distinguish the workpiece from fine residue – the part-presence sensor can be a beneficial solution in aluminium machining processes where filings or chips are present.
• 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.
