Turck BI5-M18-LIU NSNBC01 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Description:

The Turck BI5-M18-LIU inductive analog proximity sensor is used in industrial metal detection and continuous position measurement systems. Commonly installed in material handling equipment, machine tools, conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and automated production lines requiring proportional distance feedback rather than simple on/off switching. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for replacement, retrofit, process monitoring, and automation system upgrades.

Applications:

The Turck BI5-M18-LIU is designed for contactless analog measurement of metallic targets in industrial automation environments. The Turck sensor is commonly used for position monitoring, displacement sensing, level measurement, tension control, and continuous feedback applications where a PLC, HMI, or process controller requires a variable analog signal corresponding to target distance. Unlike standard proximity switches, the BI5-M18-LIU provides a linear analog output throughout its measuring range for precise control applications.
