NI5-Q18-AN6X Turck Inductive Sensors

Turck NI5-Q18-AN6X is an inductive proximity sensor designed for detecting metal objects within a 5mm sensing distance. It operates within an ambient air temperature range of -25°C to +70°C and features a pre-wired 2m cable with bare end flying leads for connection. This sensor is part of the NI...-Q18 series and comes with an 18mm thick rectangular PBT housing, a glass fiber reinforced PBT sensing face, and a PVC cable jacket, ensuring durability in various environments. It offers a degree of protection rated at IP67, making it suitable for use in conditions where dust and temporary immersion in water are concerns. The NI5-Q18-AN6X operates with a supply voltage of 10-30Vdc, including nominal 12Vdc and 24Vdc, and has a maximum switching frequency of 500Hz. It features a normally open (NO) operating mode, one digital output capable of handling 10-30Vdc at a maximum of 200mA, and includes protection functions against short-circuit (pulsed), overload, and reverse polarity. The sensor's response time is 8ms, with a control circuit rated current of 200mA and a no-load current consumption of 15mA.
