Product Description
The Pepperl+Fuchs NBB5-18GM60-WS is a Basic series inductive proximity sensor housed in a standard M18 cylindrical threaded body. It features a 5 mm flush (embeddable/shielded) sensing range with a 2-wire AC normally open (NO) output, making it well-suited for AC-powered control systems without the need for a separate power supply wire. The sensor is rated IP67 for dust and water ingress protection and is supplied with a 2-meter PVC cable with wire-end ferrules.
