A stainless steel inductive sensor NMF08121 delivers reliable detection performance in industrial automation, process control, machine monitoring, and heavy-duty production systems.
M8 sensors combine a small footprint with high functionality, robust construction, and dependable sensing performance for demanding industrial applications. The dimensions of Ø8 x 45 mm sensors allow easy adaptation to compact industrial installations.
Technical specification:
Diameter: M8, standard diameter of inductive sensors
Length: 45 mm, universal dimensions suitable for a wide range of industrial applications
Sensing range: 1 mm
Housing: Threaded sensor
Housing material: Stainless steel housing
Sensor face material: Stainless steel housing
Mounting: Flush mounting, lower sensitivity to mechanical damage and external impact
Switching function: NO, standard operating logic used in inductive sensors
Cable length: n/d
Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, stable operation in DC-powered automation applications
Applications
They deliver reliable performance in demanding automotive and industrial manufacturing environments.
Detects the presence of workpieces in machining fixtures and clamping systems.
Delivers reliable performance in high-speed packaging and processing environments.
Supports the automation of pick-and-place processes.
Used in industrial machinery for precise position monitoring of moving components.
Features & Benefits
Designed for continuous production and automated manufacturing systems.
Fast response in dynamic machining processes.
Precise synchronization of production processes.
Stable operation in dynamic automation environments.
Resistance to electromagnetic interference.
When to choose this model
Suitable for standard OEM machines requiring durable and maintenance-free sensing technology.
Suitable for various industries requiring durable and versatile metal detection technology.
Used in applications with moderate operating dynamics and continuous machine operation.
Suitable for multi-shift operation and continuous industrial workloads.
Connection
The sensor has an NPN output, so connect it with an M8 3-pin connection cable without LEDs. Cables with LEDs (NXOC08261…, NXOC08121…) have a yellow status LED wired for a PNP output and are not suitable for NPN sensors.
The diameter of an inductive sensor is a dimension that defines the width of the sensor element measured in millimeters. This is an important technical parameter as it affects the mounting method and the space required for installation.
Rated detection range is a key parameter of an inductive sensor.Indicates the distance at which the sensor changes its output state when a metal object approaches its front end axially.This is the sensor's most important functional feature—it determines how close the object being detected must be in order to be registered.
