Pepperl+Fuchs is a renowned manufacturer of industrial automation and sensor products, including various types of sensors used in industry. In particular, the company produces NEB and NEN series sensors, which we will discuss below.

Cylindrical Sensors Overwiew

There are various sensing techniques that can be used to detect a target. We can determine the appropriate method for a particular application based on various factors such as the application environment, and the type and distance of the object located in front of the sensor.

Bullet sensors are designed specifically for detecting conductive and any metal objects, as well as objects that can be detected at close range. These sensors are non-contact and work according to the law of induction. When a metal object approaches the sensor, the generator coil begins to move.

When an object approaches within the detection range, Pepperl+Fuchs NEB sensors use an electromagnetic field to detect the object, and then the sensor looks for changes in the returning signal. Once an object is detected, the returned signal is shorter than if the object was not present.

Pepperl Fuchs NEB / NEN Cylindrical Sensors

Pepperl+Fuchs NEB - NEN cylindrical sensors detect metal objects located in a certain area. In these non-contact sensors, the operating principle is based on the interaction of a metal object as an electrical conductor and the emitted magnetic alternating field of the sensor. Energy is extracted from the field by inducing an eddy current, so this energy affects the level of amplitude of the oscillations.

They consist of four main components. Coils located on the ferrite core allow the magnetic field to propagate in a specific direction. A generator that generates a high-frequency magnetic field in front of the sensor, emanating from a ferrite core and a coil on the sensing surface.

Regarding the installation of these sensors, inductive sensors with a significantly increased working distance cannot be installed completely flush with the metal. They are called "semi-flush mounted".

Benefits of NEB - NEN Sensors

Pepperl+Fuchs produces high-quality technology for industrial automation. But like any other device, object detection sensors have advantages, which we will discuss below.

  • Contactless work. Cylindrical sensors operate without physical contact with the objects they detect. This non-contact operation means minimal wear and tear, reducing maintenance requirements.
  • Variety of measurement modes. These sensors have various measurement modes, including inductive, capacitive, ultrasonic, and photoelectric. This variety allows you to choose the type of sensor that best suits your specific application.
  • Easy installation. Cylindrical sensors are usually easy to install and configure. They often have simple installation options and can be integrated into existing systems with minimal effort.
  • High speed and accuracy. Depending on the model, cylindrical sensors can provide fast response times and high accuracy, making them suitable for applications that require precision.
  • Compact design. Cylindrical sensors are often designed to save space, making them suitable for applications with limited installation space.
  • Long service life. These devices are known for their long service life, which helps reduce replacement and maintenance costs.
  • Integration with control systems. Pepperl+Fuchs NEN sensors are compatible with various industrial communications protocols, allowing them to integrate into more extensive automation and control systems easily.
