M18 cylindrical inductive sensor featuring 8mm non-flush detection, NAMUR NC output, stainless steel housing, and IP67 rating for intrinsically safe spaces.
The Pepperl+Fuchs NJ8-18GM-N is a high-performance M18 inductive proximity sensor engineered for robust industrial and hazardous area applications. It features an 8 mm non-flush sensing range and utilizes a NAMUR Normally Closed (NC) output, making it ideal for intrinsically safe circuits when paired with a compatible switching amplifier. Constructed with a rugged stainless steel 1.4305 (AISI 303) housing and a PBT sensing face, this sensor withstands harsh environments and boasts an IP67 protection rating. It operates reliably across an extended temperature range of -25 °C to 100 °C. The unit is ATEX certified and usable in safety-critical applications up to SIL 2 per IEC 61508. A pre-wired 2-meter PVC cable ensures secure and straightforward integration.
