Inductive sensor for industrial detection

The Turck NI8-M12-AN6X is a non-flush inductive sensor with an 8 mm rated switching distance. It operates on 10 to 30 VDC and provides a normally open NPN output for presence detection tasks. The M12 × 1 threaded barrel is made of chrome-plated brass for durability in harsh environments. This sensor suits automation engineers and maintenance technicians who need reliable metal sensing.

Simple threaded installation with cable routing

The M12 × 1 thread allows direct mounting into standard tapped holes or brackets without special tools. A non-flush design requires clearance around the sensing face to avoid metal interference that reduces range. The integral cable connection eliminates separate connector wiring but demands strain relief to prevent fatigue at the cable entry. Ensure the cable bend radius respects the sheath specification during routing.

Verify voltage and output compatibility first

Confirm your control system accepts a 10 to 30 VDC supply and can read an NPN sinking output signal. Check that the 8 mm switching distance meets the application gap with the target material. The chrome-plated brass housing resists many industrial fluids, yet verify chemical compatibility for your specific environment. Weight is 108 g if mounting structure limits apply.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the NI8-M12-AN6X is working after installation?

Apply 10 to 30 VDC, bring a metal target within the 8 mm rated switching distance and verify the NPN output pulls low when the NO contact closes.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The box contains one sensor with integral cable; you must supply a 10 to 30 VDC power source and any mounting hardware for the M12 × 1 threaded barrel.

Which version of the NI8-M12-AN6X should I choose?

Only one version is listed — order number 4611318 with NPN NO output, 8 mm switching distance, 10 to 30 VDC supply and cable connection.
