Turck

Turck is an industrial automation technology manufacturer specializing in sensor, fieldbus, connectivity, and interface technology products used to detect, measure, connect, and communicate across automated industrial systems. Turck hardware covers inductive and capacitive sensors, pressure and process transmitters, contactless encoders, fieldbus I/O systems, RFID identification, and connectivity accessories, and is installed across manufacturing, packaging, food and beverage, oil and gas, logistics, and mobile equipment environments. PLC Direct supplies Turck industrial automation hardware for customers sourcing replacement components and installed-base parts for existing Turck-equipped systems.

Why Choose Turck Industrial Automation Products

Turck is recognized for a sensor and connectivity portfolio designed to address detection, measurement, and field-level communication challenges in demanding industrial environments. Turck products are built for applications that require reliable sensing, accurate process measurement, and robust field connectivity to keep automated systems operational under harsh conditions.

Turck sensors, transmitters, and connectivity hardware are commonly installed in:

Discrete manufacturing and assembly operations with inductive proximity and position sensing
Packaging and filling lines requiring reliable object detection and encoder feedback
Food and beverage processing with hygiene-sensitive sensing and washdown-rated connectivity
Oil and gas and chemical facilities with pressure measurement and intrinsically safe sensing requirements
Automotive and metal fabrication environments with high-cycle inductive sensing applications
Intralogistics and warehouse automation with RFID identification and conveyor sensing
Mobile equipment and harsh-environment applications with IP67/IP69K-rated sensing and connectivity hardware

This presence across factory and process automation reflects Turck's emphasis on sensor and connectivity products engineered to perform reliably in environments with contamination, vibration, temperature extremes, and demanding duty cycles.

Turck Products and Solutions

Turck hardware at PLC Direct includes contactless encoders, industrial pressure transmitters, and connectivity accessories for field-level sensing and wiring applications. The collection focuses on hardware that supports the maintenance and operational continuity of installed Turck-equipped automation systems.

Turck Product Families

RI360 Contactless Inductive Encoders: The RI360 series is a non-contact rotary position encoder using inductive resonant coupling between the encoder head and a separate resonator target. With no mechanical wear, no bearings, and a fully sealed IP67/IP69K construction, the RI360 operates in the presence of contamination, including oil, dirt, and dust, without degradation. The RI360 supports IO-Link communication and is used for harsh-environment position feedback in packaging, food and beverage, and mobile machinery applications. Confirmed in the PLC Direct collection is the RI360P0-QR24M0-HESG25X3-H1181, a 24 mm resonator diameter variant.
PT Series Pressure Transmitters: The PT series is an industrial pressure transmitter with 4-20 mA analog output, stainless steel diaphragm construction, high overload capability, and IP65/IP67-rated housings for hydraulic, pneumatic, and process pressure measurement applications. The PT3000PSIG-13-LI3-H1131 is confirmed in the collection, with a measuring range of 0 to 3,000 PSIG.
U-Series Connectivity Accessories: The U-series covers Turck cordsets, receptacles, and field connectivity accessories for actuator and sensor wiring in industrial automation systems. These include pre-assembled M12 and picofast molded cordsets used to connect sensors, actuators, and I/O devices across machine and panel wiring installations. Confirmed part numbers in the collection include U-99342, U-99790, U-99165, U-97808, U-97805, U-97942, and U-97859.

Frequently Asked Questions

We carry Turck sensor and connectivity hardware, including RI360 series contactless inductive encoders, PT series industrial pressure transmitters, and U-series cordsets and connectivity accessories. Contact us with your part number to check current availability and condition grade.

A contactless inductive encoder uses resonant inductive coupling between a sealed encoder head and a separate resonator target mounted on the rotating shaft. Because there is no mechanical contact, no bearings, and no shaft seal, there are no wear surfaces that degrade over time. The Turck RI360 series uses this principle with fully sealed IP67/IP69K construction, making it suitable for harsh environments where contamination from oil, dirt, moisture, or washdown chemicals would damage a conventional optical or magnetic encoder.

The Turck PT series pressure transmitters are used in hydraulic circuit monitoring, pneumatic system pressure measurement, and process pressure applications requiring a 4-20 mA analog output signal. The stainless steel diaphragm and IP65/IP67 housing make them suitable for industrial environments where the transmitter is exposed to fluid media, washdown, or ambient contamination. The PT3000PSIG variant covers high-pressure hydraulic applications up to 3,000 PSIG.

Turck U-series parts are pre-assembled cordsets, receptacles, and field connectivity accessories used to wire sensors and actuators into automation systems. They provide the standardized M12 and picofast connector interfaces used across Turck sensor and I/O product lines. These accessories are typically replaced when a cordset is damaged in service or when extending or reconfiguring a sensor wiring run.

Turck part numbers encode the product family, electrical configuration, connector type, cable length, and output type. The most reliable identification source is the part number label on the installed unit or the machine or panel wiring diagram. Contact us with the full part number to check current availability. If the label is unreadable, the machine documentation or I/O list should reference the Turck part number for each field device connection.
