NBB2-12GM60

series introduction

# NBB2 - 12GM60 Product Series Introduction

## 1. Overview
The NBB2 - 12GM60 product series represents a cutting - edge range of inductive proximity sensors engineered to meet the diverse and demanding requirements of modern industrial automation. These sensors are designed to detect metallic objects without physical contact, offering high precision, reliability, and durability in a wide variety of applications.

## 2. Key Features

### 2.1 High - Precision Detection
- The NBB2 - 12GM60 sensors are capable of detecting metallic objects with an extremely high level of accuracy. They can precisely sense the presence or absence of targets within a defined sensing range, which is typically up to 2mm for standard models. This high precision makes them ideal for applications where exact positioning and detection are crucial, such as in assembly lines and robotic systems.
- The sensors use advanced inductive technology to generate an electromagnetic field. When a metallic object enters this field, it causes a change in the field's characteristics, which is then detected by the sensor's internal circuitry. This non - contact detection method eliminates the wear and tear associated with mechanical switches, ensuring long - term reliability.

### 2.2 Robust Construction
- These sensors are housed in a rugged 12mm cylindrical metal housing (GM60), which provides excellent protection against mechanical damage, shock, and vibration. The metal housing also offers good resistance to environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and chemicals, making the sensors suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.
- The housing is designed to meet high - quality standards, with a high degree of ingress protection (IP). For example, many models in the NBB2 - 12GM60 series have an IP67 rating, which means they are dust - tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water.

### 2.3 Versatile Output Options
- The NBB2 - 12GM60 series offers a variety of output options to suit different application requirements. These include PNP (sourcing) and NPN (sinking) transistor outputs, as well as normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contact configurations.
- The availability of different output types allows the sensors to be easily integrated into existing control systems, whether they are based on PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), relay - based systems, or other industrial automation equipment.

### 2.4 Ease of Installation
- The sensors are designed for easy installation. They typically feature a threaded body, which allows for simple mounting using standard nuts and washers. The compact size of the 12mm housing also makes them suitable for installation in tight spaces.
- Additionally, the sensors often come with LED indicators that provide visual feedback on the operating status, such as the presence of a detected object. This makes it easy for technicians to quickly diagnose and troubleshoot any issues during installation or operation.

## 3. Technical Specifications

### 3.1 Electrical Specifications
- **Supply Voltage**: The NBB2 - 12GM60 sensors usually operate within a wide supply voltage range, typically from 10 - 30V DC. This wide voltage range allows for flexibility in power supply selection and makes the sensors compatible with a variety of industrial power sources.
- **Output Current**: The output current capacity of the sensors is sufficient to drive most industrial loads. For example, PNP and NPN transistor outputs can typically handle currents up to 200mA, which is suitable for driving relays, solenoids, and other low - power devices.

### 3.2 Sensing Characteristics
- **Sensing Range**: As mentioned earlier, the standard sensing range for these sensors is up to 2mm. However, some models may offer different sensing ranges depending on the specific application requirements.
