Turck BI1-5-G08M-AN7X Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI1.5-G08M-AN7X is a compact M8-threaded inductive proximity sensor for non-contact metal detection in industrial automation. It detects metal within a 1.5 mm sensing distance, operates on 10–30 VDC, and provides an NPN normally open output rated up to 150 mA, with a typical switching frequency up to 2 kHz, making it well-suited for high-speed end-of-travel detection and part presence verification. Housed in a rugged stainless steel M8 x 1 cylindrical body with flush-mount/embeddable mounting, it carries IP67 protection and offers reverse polarity and short-circuit protection for reliable operation on conveyors, packaging lines, and assembly machinery. Turck Ident Number 4701125 corresponds to part BI1.5-G08M-AN7X, and this sensor is compatible with related variants such as BI1.5-G08-AN6X, BI2-G08-AP6X-H1341, and BI1,5-EG08-AP6X-V1131 as common replacements. Typical installations include end-of-travel sensors on conveyors, part presence checks on assembly lines, and position sensing in automated material handling systems where quick, reliable metal detection is essential.
