Turck NI14-M18-AP6X-0.2 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The TURCK NI14-M18-AP6X-0.2 CS11243 is an M18-sized inductive proximity sensor that detects metal targets without contact, delivering a PNP transistor output in a normally open configuration. It features a chrome-plated brass housing (M18 × 1) with a partially threaded barrel and an IP67 rating for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. The device operates on 10–30 VDC with a 3-wire DC wiring scheme and a maximum load current of 200 mA, switching at about 400 Hz typically. A 0.2 m pigtail cable supports straightforward installation in control panels and tight spaces while maintaining a 14 mm nominal sensing distance. An integrated yellow status LED indicates the switching state, and the sensor mounts with a non-flush configuration. Common applications include metal object detection and machine positioning on conveyor systems, packaging machinery, assembly equipment, and material handling networks within automated production lines. This part is suitable for industrial automation control systems requiring dependable metal detection and position feedback. Common replacements include TURCK NI14-M18-AP6X-H1141, TURCK NI14-M18-AP6X-0.2-RS4T, and IFM Electronic IFS240.
