Pepperl+Fuchs NBN818GM50E0 Inductive Proximity Switch

The Pepperl+Fuchs NBN8-18GM50-E0 is a rugged M18 inductive proximity switch with an 8 mm sensing distance that detects metal targets without contact, making it ideal for conveyors, packaging equipment, assembly lines, and material-handling systems where reliable object detection is required. It features a non-flush mounting style, 3‑wire DC output with NPN normally open configuration, and a 10 to 30 VDC supply with a maximum load current of 200 mA. The sensor comes in a nickel-plated brass housing, is cable-connected, and offers IP67 sealing for harsh industrial environments. Operating from -25°C to +70°C with a typical switching frequency up to 500 Hz, it includes a yellow LED status indicator and built-in reverse polarity and short-circuit protection. This proximity switch is used for metal object detection and machine positioning, and serves as a common replacement for worn mechanical limit switches in automated equipment.
