Turck BI5-G18-AN7X Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI5-G18-AN7X inductive proximity sensor provides non-contact detection of metallic targets and position feedback in industrial automation, commonly deployed on conveyors, packaging lines, assembly stations, and other machinery where reliable metal object sensing is required. Operating from 10-30 VDC with a 3‑wire NPN normally open output, it switches up to 200 mA at a 5 mm sensing distance, further supported by a 1 kHz switching frequency for fast, repeatable responses. This flush‑mount sensor uses a chrome-plated brass (CuZn) M18 x 1 threaded barrel and IP67 enclosure, with an integral cable, LED switching indicator, and built‑in reverse polarity and short‑circuit protection for rugged industrial environments operating from −25°C to +70°C. Common replacements include BI5-G18-AP6X, and this Turck part is positioned for replacement, retrofit, expansion, and automation system maintenance on packaging machinery, conveyors, and machine tools.
