The TURCK NI8U-EG12SK-AP6X is a shielded cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for flush mounting applications requiring precise detection of metallic targets up to 8 mm away. Equipped with a PNP normally open output, the sensor integrates seamlessly with PLCs and automation control systems. Its durable housing, rated IP67, offers protection against dust, moisture, and mechanical impacts, ensuring stable operation in harsh industrial environments. The shielded design prevents interference from surrounding metal objects, making it ideal for space-constrained installations and high-precision applications such as robotics, assembly lines, and quality control. Key Features: • Shielded cylindrical inductive sensor for flush mounting • 8 mm sensing range for metal detection • PNP normally open (NO) output • Rugged IP67 industrial housing • Resistant to dust, water, and mechanical stress • Prevents interference from surrounding metals • Compact design for tight installation spaces • Suitable for automation, robotics, and manufacturing
