NI3-M08K-AP6X Turck Inductive Sensors

Turck NI3-M08K-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 PUR cable with bare end flying leads for connection. This sensor is part of the NI...-M08 series and features a short barrel design with an M8 partially threaded short cylindrical/barrel shape. It offers a degree of protection rated at IP67, making it suitable for various industrial environments. The sensor operates on a supply voltage of 10-30Vdc, with 12Vdc and 24Vdc as nominal values, and has a maximum switching frequency of 2.8kHz. The housing is made of chrome-plated brass, and both the sensing face and end cap are constructed from glass fiber reinforced Polypropylene (PP-GF20), with a PUR cable jacket. It provides a sensing distance of 3mm and operates in a Normally Open (NO) mode. The thread size is M8, and it features one digital output (10-30Vdc; PNP; 150mA max.). Protection functions include short-circuit (pulsed), overload, and reverse polarity protection. The sensor has a response time of 8ms and a control circuit rated current of 150mA, with a no-load current consumption of 15mA.
