Inductive sensor M8 metal face 45 mm cable 2m NPN NO Sn = 2 mm NF

The NMF08011-NF inductive sensor is a solution designed specifically for detecting aluminium, retaining the full Sn sensing range thanks to the correction factor K = 1.

The small M8 dimensions suit use in compact devices. The slim Ø8 x 45 mm profile suits applications in compact devices that require durability and stable operation.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M8, standard diameter for inductive sensors used in industrial automation
• Length: 45 mm, easy integration with mounting systems and machine structures
• Detection range: 2 mm, detection range depending on the diameter and design of the inductive sensor
• Detected materials: Aluminium and other non-ferrous metals (steel ignored), steel and its derivatives are not a detection target, which reduces the number of unwanted signals in aluminium processes
• Correction factor K: K = 1 for aluminium (full rated sensing range), the correction factor K = 1 means that the rated range Sn applies directly to aluminium, without the typical reduction applied to non-ferrous metals
• Housing: Threaded, allows precise positioning of the sensor during 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: Non-flush mounting, fully exposed detection zone provides maximum sensing range
• Switching function: NO, standard operating logic for inductive sensors in industrial automation
• Cable length: 2 m, the absence of a plug-in connector eliminates extra points of potential interference
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, stable operation in DC-powered installations

Applications

• Positioning of aluminium profiles – Using the part-position sensor in aluminium profile positioning systems increases the reliability of industrial automation processes.
• Inspection before resistance welding – The NF sensor supports automatic position checking of parts before resistance-welding aluminium components at welding stations.
• Transport and sorting systems – The inductive sensor for non-ferrous metals performs well in component transport and sorting systems.
• Assembly of building structures – The NF inductive sensor supports automation of aluminium structure assembly processes in the construction industry.
• 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

• Monolithic build – being machined from a single piece of metal increases the durability of the solution intended for industrial detection of aluminium and other non-ferrous metals.
• Reduction of unwanted signals – disregarding individual filings and chips can reduce unwanted signals in processes where the actual target is a larger, solid aluminium workpiece.
• Operating selectivity – the ability to disregard individual filings and chips allows operation to be focused on the actual aluminium workpiece.
• K = 1 + non-ferrous metals – the K = 1 correction factor is an important parameter when designing applications that use non-ferrous materials.
• 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 cutting – the sensor for detecting aluminium will work well for checking the presence and position of parts before a cutting operation.
• For position inspection of non-ferrous parts – the model will work well in applications using aluminium and other non-ferrous metals.
• When the sensor operates close to machinery – the metal sensing face and monolithic construction perform well in locations exposed to contact with the working environment.
• When you need a combination of durability and K = 1 – choose the full-metal proximity sensor if the application requires a resistant construction and the full rated range for aluminium.
