Turck NI10-G18K-AP6X-7M Inductive Proximity Sensor

The TURCK NI10-G18K-AP6X-7M is a compact M18-threaded inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation, featuring a 10 mm nominal sensing distance, PNP normally open output, and a 10–30 VDC supply with a maximum 200 mA current draw and a switching frequency up to 0.5 kHz. It uses a non-embeddable sensing element inside a chrome-plated brass housing (CuZn) with a PA12-GF30 active face, IP67 protection, and a operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C. The device includes a 7 m integral DC 3-wire cable for remote wiring, non-flush mounting on an M18 × 1 threaded barrel, and a yellow status LED to indicate switching activity. Common applications include metal object detection and machine positioning across conveyors, bottling and packaging lines, transfer stations, machine tools, and other automated production systems requiring reliable sensing without physical contact. Common replacements for compatibility in retrofits or upgrades include TURCK NI10U-G18K-AP6X-H1141, TURCK BI10-G18K-AP6X, and IFM Electronic IFS240.
