Turck NI8-M18-AP6X-H1141 inductive sensor PNP

Turck M18 inductive sensor PNP

The Turck NI8-M18-AP6X-H1141 is a threaded-barrel proximity switch built for industrial automation and machine-building applications. Its M18 × 1 chrome-plated brass housing and non-flush mounting suit conveyor, positioning and part-presence tasks where metal targets must be detected reliably. The 3-wire DC PNP output with normally-open function integrates directly into standard PLC input cards. Order number 4611233 identifies this specific unit.

Sustained-load behaviour with 8 mm range

Rated switching distance of 8 mm provides a consistent detection window under continuous operation without the drift seen in short-burst tests. The CuZn housing with chrome plating resists coolant, oil and mechanical wear, maintaining signal integrity over long shifts. DC supply up to 1030 VDC and the M12 × 1 male connector ensure stable electrical contact even when vibration or temperature cycles stress the installation. The 3-year parts coverage reflects the manufacturer's confidence in durability.

Pre-installation checks for M18 sensor

Verify that the mounting hole accommodates an M18 × 1 thread and that non-flush clearance is available behind the sensing face. Confirm the control system accepts a PNP normally-open signal and that the supply voltage matches the DC rating. Ensure an M12 × 1 female cordset is on hand for the male connector, and check that the 52.844 g mass is compatible with any moving bracket or robotic arm. The eCl@ss code 27270101 can be used for procurement classification.
