Overview
The Turck 36RDH CE inductive proximity sensor (model WN116237) delivers reliable non-contact object detection for demanding industrial automation and motion control environments. Built on proven inductive technology, this sensor operates without mechanical wear, making it ideal for repetitive positioning, presence/absence detection, and machine status monitoring applications. CE certification confirms compliance with applicable European safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.
Key Features
- Non-contact inductive detection—no wear or maintenance burden
- CE certified for European compliance and industrial use
- Solid-state switching for reliable, repeatable activation
- Suitable for metal detection and positioning tasks
- Industrial-grade construction for harsh environment tolerance
Technical Specifications
Specific operating voltage, switching distance, output type (PNP/NPN), and connector details vary by model configuration. Verify all specifications with your system integrator or Turck technical support before final system design. Common Turck inductive sensors support DC supply voltages in the 10–30 V range, though this model’s exact parameters should be confirmed with the manufacturer’s datasheet.
Typical Applications
- Machine tool positioning and limit detection
- Conveyor and material handling status monitoring
- Part presence/absence verification
- Automated assembly and production line sensing
- Metal workpiece detection and counting
