Pepperl+Fuchs NBB4‑12GM50‑E2 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Product Overview

This inductive proximity sensor realizes non‑contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation. It monitors object presence, position feedback and workpiece counting without physical contact. As a standard field signal component, it converts metal target proximity into electrical switching signal for PLC and control systems, widely deployed on production lines and automated machinery for reliable on‑site signal acquisition.
