TURCK 20-250V INDUCTIVE PROXIMITY SENSOR BI5-G18-AZ3X-60M

Description:

The Turck BI5-G18-AZ3X-60M inductive proximity sensor is used in industrial metal detection and position sensing systems operating on AC and DC control circuits. Commonly installed in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, assembly equipment, material handling systems, and automated production lines requiring non-contact object detection over extended cable runs. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for replacement, retrofit, expansion, and automation system repairs.

Applications:

The Turck BI5-G18-AZ3X-60M is designed for contactless detection of metallic targets in industrial automation environments. It is commonly used in packaging equipment, conveyor transfer systems, machine tools, assembly stations, and manufacturing machinery where reliable object detection and position feedback are required for PLC-controlled processes. The integrated 60 meter cable makes it suitable for large production facilities and remote sensor installations where long-distance wiring is required.
