Turck BI4-M12-AP6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Turck BI4-M12-AP6X-H1141 inductive proximity sensor provides reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation. With a 4 mm sensing distance, it is well-suited for packaging equipment, conveyors, assembly lines, robotic cells, and machine tools where fast, contactless position sensing is required. The M12 x 1 Male connection in a threaded barrel housing supports quick sensor replacement and straightforward installation in OEM equipment. It operates from 10–30 VDC (30 VDC maximum) and uses a 3‑wire PNP normally open output, capable of switching up to 200 mA at frequencies up to 2 kHz. The chrome-plated brass housing (CuZn) with IP67 protection and flush-mount design makes it robust for industrial settings and tight spaces. The BI4-Series sensor includes a yellow LED status indicator, reverse polarity protection, and short-circuit protection for added reliability. This model is designed for position sensing and object detection across packaging machines, conveyors, assembly equipment, robotic assembly cells, and other manufacturing lines controlled by PLCs, delivering consistent metal-detection performance in an automation environment.
