Turck BI3U-EM12-AP6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI3U-EM12-AP6X-H1141 is a compact, embeddable inductive proximity sensor designed for contactless metal detection and position sensing in harsh industrial environments. Its 3 mm sensing distance (0.12 in) uses uprox+ Factor 1 technology for equal sensing across all metals and robust magnetic-field resistance, with reverse polarity and short-circuit protection. It features a 3-wire PNP normally open output, powered from 10-30 VDC and up to 200 mA, with a flush-mount, M12 x 1 threaded barrel and an M12 x 1 male connector, housed in stainless steel and IP68 rated. The sensor is intended for packaging machines, conveyors, assembly equipment, robotic cells, and other manufacturing lines requiring reliable non-contact metal object detection and position feedback, with a switching frequency of 3 kHz and a yellow indicator LED to show switching status. Operating from −30°C to +85°C, it suits OEM equipment that requires compact, flush-mounted sensing in threaded-barrel installations.
