The Pepperl+Fuchs NBN15-F11-E2-V1 is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor designed for precise non-contact detection of metallic objects in diverse industrial setups. Housed in a compact rectangular housing (40 x 40 x 67 mm) with a rotatable sensing head, it offers 360° angle adjustment to optimize detection in tight or complex machinery layouts. The 4-wire DC PNP output (NO/NC complementary) ensures seamless integration with standard control systems, operating across a wide 10–30 V DC voltage range. A visible yellow LED indicates switching status, while the M12 x 1 connector enables quick, standardized wiring. Weighing just 130 g with a flush-mount design, it minimizes interference from adjacent metal surfaces, making it ideal for space-constrained applications like conveyor systems or robotic arm positioning.
Engineered for consistent operation, this sensor provides a 15 mm rated sensing distance (non-flush mounting) with 5% hysteresis to reduce signal fluctuations from vibration or material variance. Its inductive technology detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals, supported by reduction factors (e.g., aluminum: 0.33, stainless steel: 0.74) to guide target selection. The sensor features a switching frequency of 400 Hz, suitable for high-speed automation, and includes reverse polarity/short-circuit protection to safeguard connected equipment. The polyamide (PA) housing and nickel-plated brass sensing face resist corrosion and mechanical stress, ensuring stable performance in dusty, wet, or high-vibration environments.
The NBN15-F11-E2-V1 meets international standards (EN/IEC 60947-5-2) and carries certifications like CE, UL, and CCC exemption, ensuring global compatibility in industrial automation systems. Its IP67 rating protects against dust and water immersion, while the wide operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C) makes it suitable for extreme conditions, from cold storage to moderate-temperature production lines. The sensor’s robust construction and long service life (MTTFd >1,500 years) make it a trusted choice for critical applications such as material handling, CNC machine tooling, or industrial safety interlocks. Backed by Pepperl+Fuchs’ expertise, it delivers precision, reliability, and durability in harsh industrial settings.
