Turck BI2-EG08K-AP6X-0.4-PSW3M-P7X2 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Turck BI2-EG08K-AP6X-0.4-PSW3M-P7X2/S957 inductive proximity sensor is a compact, flush-mount metal-detection sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation environments. Its short-barrel M8 threaded design with a 0.4 m pigtail cable suits installations with limited mounting space on packaging machinery, conveyors, and assembly equipment. The sensor operates from 10–30 VDC with a 3-Wire PNP normally open output, a maximum switching current of 150 mA, and a switching frequency up to 3 kHz. Built with a stainless steel 1.4305 housing (M8 x 1) and an IP67 rating, it is suitable for harsh industrial conditions from -25°C to +70°C and supports flush mounting. Features include LED switching indication, reverse polarity protection, and short-circuit protection. Typical applications span packaging machines, robotic assembly cells, material handling systems, and other PLC-controlled processes requiring reliable metal object detection and position sensing. Common Turck replacements include BI2-EG08K-AP6X-V1131, BI2-EG08K-AP6X-0.2-PSG3M, and BI2U-EG08-AP6X-V1131.
