Turck BI5-G18-AZ3X Inductive Proximity Sensor

Description:

The Turck BI5-G18-AZ3X inductive proximity sensor is used in industrial metal detection and position sensing systems operating on AC and DC control circuits. Commonly installed in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, assembly equipment, material handling systems, and automated production lines requiring non-contact object detection. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for replacement, retrofit, expansion, and automation system repairs.

Applications:

The Turck BI5-G18-AZ3X is designed for contactless detection of metallic targets in industrial automation environments. The Turck BI5-G18-AZ3X is commonly used in packaging equipment, conveyor transfer systems, machine tools, assembly stations, and manufacturing machinery where reliable object detection and position feedback are required for PLC-controlled processes. The 2-wire AC/DC design allows direct integration into relay logic systems and PLC inputs without requiring separate interface modules.
