Turck Bi2-Q5, 5-AP6X S34 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI2-Q5.5-AP6X/S34 inductive proximity sensor delivers compact, non-contact detection of metallic targets in welding-heavy industrial environments. Housed in a rectangular Q5.5 plastic enclosure (PP-GF20) measuring 28 x 8 x 5.5 mm, it can flush-mount in tight spaces on robotics, conveyors, and assembly fixtures. It operates from 10 to 30 V DC with a 3‑wire PNP normally open output and a maximum switching current of 150 mA, making it compatible with PLC inputs in automated production lines. Its sensing distance is 2 mm, and it can switch at up to 1 kHz, enabling reliable position sensing and object detection on fast-moving lines. The unit features an integral 2 m PUR cable and an IP67-rated enclosure for rugged industrial use, including welding applications. Weld-field immune design and magnetic field resistance help ensure dependable performance in environments with welding currents and magnetic fields, such as robotic welding cells, automotive manufacturing lines, conveyors, and material handling systems. A yellow LED switching indicator provides a clear status signal, and the sensor is designed for surface mounting on machinery or fixtures to deliver durable non-contact metal object detection for PLC-controlled processes.
