Turck BI10-G30-AP6X Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI10-G30-AP6X Inductive Sensor is a shielded, non-contact metal-detection device for industrial automation, delivering a 10 mm sensing distance in a rugged M30 × 1.5 threaded housing. It is a 3‑wire DC sensor with a PNP normally open output, powered from 10–30 VDC and capable of switching up to 200 mA. The housing is chrome‑plated brass (CuZn) with an PA12‑GF30 plastic active face, configured for flush mounting and a 2 m integral cable. Protection includes IP67 with reverse polarity and short‑circuit safeguards, and it operates from −25°C to +70°C, indicated by a yellow LED. Common applications span metal object detection and position sensing across conveyors, packaging lines, assembly equipment, stamping presses, and material handling systems; it supports part presence verification, end‑of‑travel monitoring, machine positioning, product counting, and process sequencing in PLC‑controlled environments. For compatibility, Turck lists common replacements such as BI10-G30-AN6X, BI10-G30-RP6X, and BI10-G30-AP6X-5M.
