Turck NI8-M12-VN6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Turck NI8-M12-VN6X-H1141 is an inductive proximity switch sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance, designed for reliable metal-target detection in demanding industrial environments. It provides a 4-wire NPN complementary output (NO/NC) and operates from 10–30 VDC, supporting up to 200 mA load current. The sensor comes in an M12 x 1 threaded barrel with chrome-plated brass housing and is mounted non-flush to increase sensing distance while maintaining switching performance. It uses a 4-pin M12 male connector and handles switching frequencies up to 2 kHz. The unit is IP67-rated for protection against dust and water ingress and operates from -25°C to +70°C. A yellow LED indicates the switching status, and built-in protection features include short-circuit and reverse polarity protection. Common applications include conveyor control, packaging equipment, automated assembly systems, position monitoring, machine sequencing, and part detection in metal-target sensing tasks within industrial automation. Common replacements include TURCK NI8-M12-VP6X-H1141, NI8U-M12-VN6X-H1141, and NI8-M18-VN6X-H1141.
