Turck NI15-M30-AD4X-H1141 44177 inductive sensor M30 15mm 10-65VDC M12

Industrial proximity sensor for metal detection

The Turck NI15-M30-AD4X-H1141 is an inductive sensor built for automation and machine-monitoring tasks. Its M30 × 1.5 threaded barrel fits standard mounting holes in conveyors, presses and robotic cells. The 15 mm rated switching distance suits presence checks on ferrous targets without physical contact. Chrome-plated brass housing resists coolant splash and mechanical wear in harsh production environments.

DC two-wire operation between 10 and 65 volts

The sensor runs on a wide DC supply range, simplifying integration with PLC input modules and relay logic. A normally-open output switches only when metal enters the sensing field, reducing false triggers at power-up. Two-wire topology means the load connects in series with the sensor, so voltage drop across the device must be accounted for in the control circuit design. No separate ground wire is required, but the available load current depends on the supply voltage used.

M12 connector and non-flush mounting

A M12 × 1 male connector provides a quick-disconnect interface compatible with standard cordsets, speeding replacement during planned maintenance. Non-flush mounting requires a metal-free zone around the sensing face to prevent premature switching, which influences bracket design and panel cut-out dimensions. The 110 g chrome-plated brass body withstands vibration and thermal cycling typical of automotive and packaging lines. Order number 44177 identifies the exact variant for spare-parts tracking.
