Turck BI5-G18K-AP6X-0.2M-PSG3M/S90 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI5-G18K-AP6X-0.2M-PSG3M/S90 inductive proximity sensor is a compact, non-contact metal object detector designed for industrial automation, commonly used in packaging machines, conveyors, assembly equipment, machine tools, and automated production lines. It features a 5 mm sensing distance, 3‑wire PNP normally open output, and operates on 10–30 VDC with a maximum switching current of 200 mA and a switching frequency of 0.5 kHz. The short M18 threaded barrel (M18 x 1) pairs with a 0.2 m (7.9 in) pigtail cable and M8 connector for installation in tight mounting depths. Built with chrome-plated brass housing and a PA12-GF30 active face, it is IP67 rated for industrial environments and suited to flush mounting. Operating temperature ranges from -25°C to +70°C, and its design includes reverse polarity protection, short-circuit protection, wire-break protection, and LED switching indication for quick status checks. Ideal for position sensing and non-contact metal detection along automated lines, this Turck sensor supports reliable PLC-controlled processes in packaging, material handling, robotic cells, and related equipment.
