Turck BI2-G12K-AN6X Inductive Proximity Switch

The Turck BI2-G12K-AN6X inductive proximity switch provides reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in demanding industrial automation environments. It is commonly installed in packaging machinery, conveyors, assembly equipment, and material handling systems to deliver position sensing and object detection that feed PLCs. The sensor's 2 mm sensing distance, chrome-plated brass housing, and M12 x 1 threaded barrel support compact, robust installations. It operates from 10 to 30 VDC and delivers an NPN normally open output for straightforward interfacing with common control circuits. With a 5 ft cable, wiring is flexible for equipment layouts, and its IP67 rating protects against dust and water ingress in washdown or harsh environments. Rated for switching up to 2 kHz, the BI2-G12K-AN6X is suitable for fast cycle applications in packaging lines, robotic assembly cells, machine tools, and other manufacturing machinery requiring reliable, repeatable metal detection feedback. This Turck part, identified by Turck Identification Number 46712, is a practical choice for retrofit, expansion, or automated system repairs in PLC-controlled processes.
