M18 inductive sensor for presence detection
The Turck NI8-M18-AN6X-H1141 is an M18 threaded-barrel inductive sensor designed for non-flush mounting. It detects metal targets at a rated switching distance of 8 mm and operates on 10–30 VDC power. The sensor uses a 3-wire DC circuit with an NPN normally-open output. Connection is made through an M12 × 1 male connector on a chrome-plated brass housing.
Suited for metal-sensing tasks needing NPN logic
This unit suits automation engineers and maintenance teams who need a non-flush M18 sensor with NPN output for PLC input cards that sink current. The 8 mm range fits standard presence-check applications on conveyors or machine guards. Buyers who require a flush-mountable housing, a PNP output type, or a different operating voltage should look at other models.
The 8 mm non-flush switching distance decides fit
The single specification that determines whether this sensor works in your fixture is the 8 mm rated switching distance combined with non-flush mounting. If the mechanical design allows the sensor face to sit recessed or surrounded by metal, this range is calibrated for that condition. A flush-mount design would need a different sensing distance, making this model unsuitable.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the M18 inductive sensor generate when running continuously on a 1030 VDC supply?
The sensor operates on DC voltage with an NPN output; continuous operation produces negligible heat that does not affect the chrome-plated brass housing.
What mating connector and cable type are needed for the M12 x 1 male connector on this sensor?
A standard M12 x 1 female connector with a 3-wire DC cable is required to complete the connection.
Will the 8 mm switching distance still detect targets reliably if mounted beside older M18 flush-mount sensors?
The non-flush mounting design and 8 mm rated distance allow reliable detection without interference from adjacent flush-mount units.
