Turck Bi15-K40SR-AN7 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Description:

The Turck BI15-K40SR-AN7 Inductive Proximity Sensor is used in industrial automation systems for non-contact metallic object detection and machine position sensing. Commonly installed in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, transfer lines, material handling equipment, and automated production systems requiring NPN DC-powered sensing devices. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for replacement, retrofit, automation expansion, or sensor upgrades in industrial control applications.

Applications:

The Turck BI15-K40SR-AN7 is commonly used for part presence detection, end-of-travel monitoring, machine positioning, and product verification in PLC-controlled manufacturing environments. Its smooth barrel K40SR housing with terminal chamber wiring makes it suitable for conveyor systems, packaging equipment, transfer systems, and automated machinery where flexible installation and reliable DC switching performance are required. The terminal chamber design supports both axial and radial cable exits for easier installation in confined industrial locations.
