Turck Bi1-EH04-AP6X Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI1-EH04-AP6X inductive proximity sensor provides reliable non-contact metal object detection for automated equipment in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, assembly machines, and precision manufacturing lines. It uses inductive sensing with a 1 mm sensing distance and a stainless steel IP67 housing designed for compact, flush (embeddable) mounting in an M4 smooth barrel body. The device offers a PNP, normally open (NO), 3-wire output, operating from 10–30 VDC with a maximum output current of 100 mA and a 3 kHz switching frequency, with a cable connection. An LED indicator confirms sensing status, and its operating temperature range spans -25°C to +70°C. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators rely on this sensor for repair, retrofit, expansion, or replacement to maintain efficient machine operation. Common replacements include Turck BI1-EH04-AN6X, BI1-EG05-AP6X, and BI1.5-EG08-AP6X.
