Turck Bi3U-M112-AP6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Turck BI3U-M12-AP6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor detects metal objects without contact, enabling reliable non-contact metal object detection for positioning, counting, and presence sensing in automated production lines. It features a nickel-plated brass housing with an M12 threaded cylindrical body and a thermoplastic sensing face, a 3 mm sensing distance, and a PNP normally open (NO) switching output driven from 10–30 VDC via an M12 4-pin quick disconnect. Built for industrial environments, it carries an IP67 protection rating and can switch at frequencies up to 2 kHz, making it suitable for high-speed conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and material handling equipment. Commonly used in conveyor systems, assembly machinery, and broader industrial control applications to retrofit or expand sensing networks and improve machine control and efficiency. Common replacements include Turck BI3-M12-AP6X and Omron E2E-X3D1-N sensors, reflecting cross-compatibility within automation ecosystems.
