Turck NI3-EH6, 5K-AP6X Inductive Proximity Sensor

The TURCK NI3-EH6,5K-AP6X Inductive Sensor delivers reliable non-contact metal detection and machine-position sensing in compact spaces, designed for industrial automation in constrained mounting pockets. Built on Uprox inductive sensing, it provides a PNP normally open 3-wire DC output and operates from 10–30 VDC with a 150 mA load rating, sensing metal targets at up to 3 mm. Its smooth-barrel stainless-steel housing is 6.5 mm in diameter, with an integral cable and flush-mount design for space-constrained installations, and it carries IP67 protection and a wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C. With short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection and a switching frequency up to 3 kHz, this TURCK sensor is well suited for packaging equipment, conveyor systems, robotic cells, assembly lines, and automotive or machine-tool applications requiring reliable end-of-travel, part presence verification, or precise machine sequencing.
