Turck NI3-EG08-AP6X Inductive Proximity Sensor

The TURCK NI3-EG08-AP6X Inductive Proximity Sensor detects metal targets without contact, delivering reliable non-contact position sensing for conveyor systems, packaging equipment, assembly lines, robotic cells, and other automated production processes. Built with TURCK’s Uprox Inductive Sensing technology, it operates on 10–30 VDC with a PNP normally open (NO) output that can source up to 200 mA, and it senses metal targets at a 3 mm distance. The sensor features a threaded M8 x 1 stainless steel (AISI 303) housing with an M12 male connector and a 3-wire DC electrical configuration, designed for non-flush mounting. It is rated IP67 for protection, supports switching frequencies up to 3 kHz, and withstands temperatures from -25°C to +70°C. Its design includes short-circuit protection, reverse polarity protection, and wear-free operation to improve longevity in harsh environments. Common applications include end-of-travel sensing, part presence verification, and machine sequencing in industrial automation systems such as material handling, machine tools, automotive assembly, and robotic-equipped production lines. Common replacements include TURCK NI2-EG08-AP6X, NI4-EG08-AP6X, and BI2-EG08-AP6X.
