Turck NI4-Q12-AN6X Inductive Proximity Sensor

The TURCK NI4-Q12-AN6X Inductive Proximity Sensor is a compact, non-contact metal object detection and machine-position sensor built in a rectangular Q12 housing for rugged industrial use. Identified by part number NI4-Q12-AN6X and identification number 16194, it employs inductive sensing with a 4 mm sensing distance and a 3-wire DC configuration, delivering a NPN normally open output at 10–30 VDC and up to 200 mA. The integral-cable connection and glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic housing support harsh environments, while IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C enable reliable performance on conveyors, packaging lines, assembly equipment, material handling systems, and automated production lines where metal targets must be detected and positioned without contact. Switching frequency reaches up to 2 kHz, and status is indicated by an LED. Built-in protections include short-circuit protection and reverse polarity protection, contributing to wear-free operation in demanding industrial automation upgrades, replacements, retrofits, and control-system expansions.
