Turck NI8U-S12-AP6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck NI8U-S12-AP6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor detects metal targets without contact, delivering reliable wear-free object detection with an 8 mm sensing distance in a rugged M12 × 1 threaded housing. Designed for factory automation, it is commonly installed on conveyors, packaging machinery, material handling equipment, machine tools, and automated production lines where robust metal sensing and fast switching improve uptime and accuracy. Key specs include a PNP normally open 3-wire output, 10–30 VDC supply, up to 200 mA load, 1 kHz switching frequency, and IP68 protection, with a -30°C to +85°C operating range; the housing is PBT-GF30 plastic and uses an M12 × 1 male connector. It achieves reliable performance with Factor 1 sensing for all metals, magnetic-field resistance, and auto-compensation against pre-damping to maintain consistent detection across varying metal conditions. Model NI8U-S12-AP6X-H1141 (MPN 1644600) is part of TURCK’s line of inductive sensors designed for non-contact metal detection in industrial automation systems.
