Inductive sensor M8 metal face 60 mm connector M8 PNP NO Sn = 2 mm NF

The NMF08113-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.

Thanks to compact M8 dimensions, their use in modern production lines is possible. The slender Ø8 x 60 mm form allows mounting in tight enclosures while maintaining high-quality detection.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M8, standard diameter for inductive sensors used in industrial automation
• Length: 60 mm, elongated housing with increased mechanical rigidity and high durability
• Detection range: 2 mm, non-contact detection of metal objects with high repeatability
• 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, cylindrical housing with a mounting thread for standard industrial applications
• Housing material: Stainless steel, long sensor lifespan even under intensive use
• 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, used in typical machine control applications
• Plug type: M8, the plug-in design eases servicing and quick sensor replacement
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, standard supply voltage range for industrial sensors

Applications

• Stamping and pressing of sheet metal – Using the inductive proximity sensor supports automation of stamping and pressing processes for aluminium sheet metal.
• CNC machines – The NF inductive sensor is used in CNC machines to check the position of aluminium parts and tools.
• Aluminium cable production – The inductive proximity sensor supports checking the presence of aluminium conductor or wire during cable production.
• Packaging and labelling – Applications of the NF non-contact sensor include checking the presence of aluminium parts at packaging and labelling stations.
• Inspection after cutting/machining – Applications of the NF proximity sensor include inspecting parts after machining, even in environments containing fine aluminium fragments.

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.
• No reaction to individual aluminium chips – fine chips are not the actual part that is meant to be detected when inspecting an aluminium workpiece.
• Durable construction – the monolithic construction increases the resistance of the solution used to inspect aluminium parts and other non-ferrous metals.
• For inspecting parts after machining – can be used to detect the actual aluminium workpiece even in environments where machining residue is present.
• Compact detection setups – the full rated range for aluminium can make it easier to design stations where installation space is limited.

When to choose this model

• For automating aluminium production processes – the metal sensor can check the position and presence of aluminium components at successive production stages.
• When actual range matters – choose this model if, when designing the application, you want to base the detection distance on the value stated in the documentation.
• When machining filings are present at the station – the aluminium detection sensor can be used to inspect the actual workpiece without being intended to detect individual filings.
• For demanding industrial applications – the full-metal inductive sensor will be a suitable choice when, besides aluminium detection, construction durability is important.
