Pepperl+Fuchs NJ1,5-8GM40-E2-V3

Inductive proximity sensor from the NJ Series

The NJ1,5-8GM40-E2-V3 is a compact, high-performance inductive proximity sensor manufactured by Pepperl+Fuchs, a global leader in industrial sensors. Part of the classic NJ Series, this sensor is engineered for precision detection of metallic objects in space-constrained automation environments.

Featuring a robust M8 stainless steel threaded housing, this model offers a 1.5 mm sensing range with a flush mounting capability, making it ideal for embedding directly into machine components without interference. It utilizes a standardized M8 (V3) connector for quick plug-and-play installation.

The NJ Standard Series represents the core of Pepperl+Fuchs' inductive portfolio. Unlike the "NBB" (Basic) series, the NJ line often features extended operating voltage ranges and legacy compatibility.

• Reliability: Designed for millions of switching cycles without mechanical wear.
• Compact M8 Design: The "8GM" designation indicates an 8mm diameter with a threaded metal sleeve, specifically designed for robotics, gripper systems, and small conveyors where larger M12 or M18 sensors cannot fit.

Core Features & Benefits

• Flush Mounting: Can be installed flush with the surrounding metal surface, protecting the sensor face from mechanical damage.
• High-Speed Detection: With a switching frequency of up to 5000 Hz, this sensor is perfect for high-speed counting applications and rotational speed monitoring.
• Visual Status: Equipped with a bright LED indicator for immediate switching state visualization.
• Robust Protection: Includes built-in protection against short-circuiting and reverse polarity, preventing damage during installation.

Target Applications

• Robotic Grippers: Detecting the presence of parts in end-of-arm tooling.
• Micro-Assembly: Positioning of small metallic components.
• Machine Tools: End-stop detection in linear guides.
• Packaging: Cap detection and counting.
