Turck NI20-Q14-AN6X2 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The TURCK NI20-Q14-AN6X2 Inductive Proximity Sensor is a rectangular, non-contact metal-detection device for industrial automation that delivers a 20 mm nominal sensing distance with an NPN transistor output configured as normally open. It operates from 10-30 VDC with a maximum load current of 200 mA and typically switches at 250 Hz, with cable or connector version options to suit different installations. Housed in reinforced thermoplastic within the Q14 profile, it offers IP67 protection and non-flush mounting, making it suitable for conveyors, pallet handling, packaging machinery, machine tools, and automated production cells where reliable metal object detection and position feedback are needed. The sensor provides a status LED, operates from -25°C to +70°C, and includes short-circuit and reverse polarity protection as part of its feature set. Common replacements include TURCK NI20-Q14-AP6X2, NI20-CK40-AP6X2-H1141, and NI20-M30-AP6X-H1141, reflecting its compatibility within the NI20 family for similar applications.
