Turck BI15U-CK40-AP4X2-B1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Description:

The Turck BI15U-CK40-AP4X2-B1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor is used in industrial automation systems for non-contact metallic object detection and position sensing using uprox® Factor 1 technology. Commonly installed in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, automotive assembly equipment, transfer lines, and material handling systems requiring equal sensing performance across ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for replacement, retrofit, automation expansion, or sensor upgrades in demanding industrial environments.

Applications:

The Turck BI15U-CK40-AP4X2-B1141 is commonly used for part presence detection, end-of-travel monitoring, machine positioning, and product verification in PLC-controlled manufacturing environments. Its CK40 rectangular housing and uprox® technology provide reliable detection of steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and stainless steel at the same sensing distance, making it suitable for conveyor systems, packaging equipment, transfer systems, and automated machinery operating in electrically noisy environments. The B1141 quick-disconnect connector configuration simplifies sensor replacement and maintenance in industrial installations.
