Overview
The Turck 162K761H01 inductive proximity sensor is engineered for non-contact detection of ferrous metals in industrial automation systems. Turck has built a reputation over 50 years for designing and building reliable non-contact inductive sensors widely used in diverse positioning applications. This sensor integrates into motion control, position verification, and material handling systems where consistent, repeatable sensing is critical.
Key Features
- Non-contact ferrous metal detection—no mechanical wear or contamination
- Manufactured with either a shielded coil (designated “Bi” in part numbers) or nonshielded coil (designated “Ni” in part numbers).
- Industrial-grade reliability for harsh production environments
- Compact design suitable for tight installation spaces
- Fast switching response for dynamic applications
