NI14-M18-AP6X Turck Inductive Sensors

Turck NI14-M18-AP6X is an inductive proximity sensor designed for detecting the presence of metal objects without contact. It operates within an ambient air temperature range of -25°C to +70°C and is equipped with a 2m pre-wired cable with bare end flying leads for connection. This sensor falls under the NI...-M18 series and features an M18 partially threaded barrel shape. It offers a degree of protection rated at IP67, making it suitable for use in environments where dust and water resistance is required. The supply voltage required for operation is between 10-30Vdc, with nominal values at 12Vdc and 24Vdc. It has a maximum switching frequency of 500Hz and a sensing distance of 14mm. The sensor operates in a Normally Open (NO) mode and includes a single digital output (10-30Vdc; PNP; 200mA max.). The construction includes a chrome-plated brass housing, a PA12-GF30 (glass fiber reinforced Polyamide) sensing face, an EPTR (Ethylene Propylene Terpolymer Rubber) end cap, and a PVC cable jacket. It features protection functions against short-circuit (pulsed), overload, and reverse polarity, with a control circuit rated current of 200mA / 0.2 A and a no-load current consumption of 15mA.
