Turck NI8-M18E-AP6X-S97 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The TURCK NI8-M18E-AP6X S97 Inductive Proximity Sensor is a 3‑wire PNP normally open device with an 8 mm sensing distance, designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation. Operating from 10–30 VDC and protected to IP67, it uses a chrome-plated brass M18 x 1 threaded housing with non-flush mounting and a special S97 connection configuration. It delivers up to 200 mA load current, switches at up to 500 Hz, and operates reliably in temperatures from -25°C to +70°C, making it suitable for conveyor systems, packaging machinery, robotic cells, and automated assembly lines where position monitoring and machine sequencing are required. Common replacements include TURCK NI8-M18-AP6X-H1141.
