TURCK Ni8-M18-AP6X/S120 Sensor | M18, 8mm, PNP NO, 120°C
TURCK Ni8-M18-AP6X/S120 inductive proximity sensor. M18 threaded metal housing, 8mm sensing range, PNP normally open, rated for high temperatures up to 120°C.
Product Overview
The TURCK Ni8-M18-AP6X/S120 is a high-temperature inductive proximity sensor with an M18 threaded metal housing. It features an extended operating temperature range up to +120°C, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments like foundries, plastics machinery, and automotive welding lines. The sensor provides non-contact detection of metallic objects with a rated sensing distance of 8 mm and a PNP normally open (NO) output.
