Turck BI-8-M18-AP6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Turck BI8-M18-AP6X-H1141 is an inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact metal target detection in industrial automation. It offers an 8 mm sensing distance with a chrome-plated brass M18 x 1 threaded barrel and flush-mount embeddable mounting for versatile installation. The device provides a 3-wire PNP normally open output, operates at 10–30 V DC, and draws up to 200 mA, with a switching frequency of up to 0.5 kHz. It is IP67-rated, operates from -25°C to +70°C, and uses an M12 4-pin male connector for connection. The sensor includes LED status indication, short-circuit protection, and reverse polarity protection, and is CE, IEC, and RoHS compliant, with FM approval available on select variants. Typical applications include part presence verification, machine positioning, end-of-travel sensing, and conveyor sequencing in packaging equipment, bottling lines, pallet handling, robotic cells, and other manufacturing machinery where reliable metal object detection and extended sensing distance are required.
