NI8-M18-AP6X/S120 Turck Inductive Sensors

Turck NI8-M18-AP6X/S120 is an inductive proximity sensor designed for a wide range of automation applications. This sensor operates within an ambient air temperature range of -25°C to +120°C and is equipped with a 2m pre-wired silicone-jacketed cable with bare end flying leads for connection. It falls under the NI...-M18 series and features an M18 partially threaded barrel shape. The sensor is constructed with a chrome-plated brass housing, a PA12-GF30 (glass fiber reinforced Polyamide) sensing face, an EPTR (Ethylene Propylene Terpolymer Rubber) end cap, and a silicone cable jacket, ensuring durability and resistance to various environmental conditions. It offers a sensing distance of 8mm and operates in a Normally Open (NO) mode. The thread size is M18, and it includes 1 x digital output (10-30Vdc; PNP; 200mA max.) for connectivity. This model provides a degree of protection of IP67, making it suitable for use in environments where dust and moisture resistance are required. It supports a supply voltage range of 10-30Vdc (with 12Vdc / 24Vdc nominal), has a maximum switching frequency of 100Hz, and features protection functions against short-circuit (pulsed), overload, and reverse polarity. The response time is 8ms / 0.008 s, and the control circuit rated current is 200mA / 0.2 A, with a current consumption of 15mA under no-load conditions.
