Pepperl+Fuchs NBN4-12GM40-Z0-V1 Inductive Sensor, 4 mm Sensing Range, 2-Wire NO, M12 Connector 088195

Detecting metal objects in harsh industrial environments requires a sensor that can withstand vibration, dirt, and wide temperature swings while delivering consistent switching performance. The Pepperl+Fuchs NBN4-12GM40-Z0-V1 inductive sensor solves this with a rugged nickel-plated brass housing and a non-flush sensing face that resists mechanical damage.

Who is it for

Automation engineers and machine builders who need a reliable 2-wire AC/DC sensor for position detection, end-of-travel sensing, or part presence verification on conveyors, robotic cells, and packaging machinery.

Main features

• 4 mm sensing range for standard metal targets
• 2-wire normally open output, compatible with both AC and DC control circuits
• Operating voltage from 20 to 250 V AC/DC for flexible integration
• M12 x 1 threaded barrel, 40 mm housing length, easy mounting
• Nickel-plated brass body and PBT sensing face for durability
• Yellow LED switching state indicator for quick diagnostics
• IP67 protection against dust and temporary immersion
• M12 4-pin connector for fast, secure wiring
