Turck NI4-M12-AP6X/S120 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Description:

The TURCK NI4-M12-AP6X/S120 Inductive Sensor is used in industrial machine position sensing and non-contact metal detection systems operating in elevated temperature environments. Commonly installed in heat treatment equipment, drying ovens, packaging machinery, conveyor systems, and manufacturing processes requiring reliable metal target detection at temperatures up to +120°C. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for replacement, retrofit, control system expansion, and industrial automation upgrades.

Applications:

The TURCK NI4-M12-AP6X/S120 Inductive Sensor is commonly used in paint curing lines, food processing equipment, drying systems, packaging machinery, furnace material handling equipment, and industrial production lines requiring accurate metal target detection, end-of-travel sensing, part presence verification, and machine sequencing in high-temperature operating conditions. Its S120 design allows reliable operation where standard proximity sensors would exceed their temperature ratings.
