Turck Ni8U-M12-AN6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Switch Sensor

The TURCK NI8U-M12-AN6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Switch Sensor is a compact, non-contact metal-detection device designed for industrial automation, delivering a reliable 8 mm rated sensing distance across ferrous and non-ferrous targets thanks to uprox+ Factor 1 technology. It features a NPN normally open (NO), 3-wire output and operates on 10–30 VDC, with a maximum load current of 200 mA, a switching frequency up to 2 kHz, an operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C, and an IP68 ingress protection rating suitable for damp, dirty industrial environments. The sensor is built with a chrome-plated brass housing in M12 × 1 threaded form factor, designed for non-flush mounting, and uses a 4-pin M12 Eurofast connector for rugged, easy wiring in automation panels. Applications include conveyor systems, packaging machinery, material handling equipment, robotic work cells, and automated manufacturing lines, where its Factor 1 metal sensing ensures consistent distance across metal types and its immunity to magnetic fields enhances reliability in magnetic-rich surroundings. Protection features include reverse polarity protection and short-circuit protection, contributing to safer installation and easier maintenance.
