Commonly installed in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, assembly equipment, machine tools, 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. The extended M18 barrel design provides additional mounting flexibility for deeper panel installations. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"5ms9th\" data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"626\"\u003eApplications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"627\" data-end=\"1212\"\u003eThe Turck BI5-M18E-VP4X is designed for contactless detection of metallic targets in industrial automation environments. It is commonly used in packaging equipment, robotic assembly cells, material handling systems, conveyor systems, and manufacturing machinery where both normally open and normally closed outputs are required for PLC-controlled processes, machine interlocks, and status monitoring applications. The extended threaded housing makes it ideal for OEM machinery and factory automation systems with limited access mounting locations. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"5hg6bl\" data-start=\"1214\" data-end=\"1243\"\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1244\" data-end=\"2430\"\u003e• Manufacturer: Turck\u003cbr data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1268\"\u003e• Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): BI5-M18E-VP4X\u003cbr data-start=\"1315\" data-end=\"1318\"\u003e• Identification Number: 1561100\u003cbr data-start=\"1350\" data-end=\"1353\"\u003e• Product Type: Inductive Proximity Sensor\u003cbr data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1398\"\u003e• Sensor Type: Inductive Sensor\u003cbr data-start=\"1429\" data-end=\"1432\"\u003e• Sensing Distance: 5 mm (0.20 in)\u003cbr data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1469\"\u003e• Output Type: 4-Wire PNP Complementary (NO + NC)\u003cbr data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1521\"\u003e• Operating Voltage: 10-65 VDC\u003cbr data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1554\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Switching Current: 200 mA Maximum\u003cbr data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1592\"\u003e• Switching Frequency: 0.5 kHz\u003cbr data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003e• Connection Type: Integral Cable or Connector Version Depending on Configuration\u003cbr data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"1709\"\u003e• Housing Style: Extended Threaded Barrel\u003cbr data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"1753\"\u003e• Housing Material: Chrome-Plated Brass (CuZn)\u003cbr data-start=\"1799\" data-end=\"1802\"\u003e• Thread Size: M18 × 1\u003cbr data-start=\"1824\" data-end=\"1827\"\u003e• Mounting Type: Flush Mount\u003cbr data-start=\"1855\" data-end=\"1858\"\u003e• Protection Rating: IP67\u003cbr data-start=\"1883\" data-end=\"1886\"\u003e• Function: Non-contact metal object detection\u003cbr data-start=\"1932\" data-end=\"1935\"\u003e• Application: Position sensing and object detection\u003cbr data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"1990\"\u003e• Compatible Equipment: Packaging machines, conveyors, assembly equipment, and machine tools\u003cbr data-start=\"2082\" data-end=\"2085\"\u003e• Installation: Threaded barrel mounting\u003cbr data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2128\"\u003e• Operating Environment: Industrial automation applications\u003cbr data-start=\"2187\" data-end=\"2190\"\u003e• Operating Temperature: -25°C to +70°C (-13°F to +158°F)\u003cbr data-start=\"2247\" data-end=\"2250\"\u003e• Special Features: Complementary outputs, reverse polarity protection, short-circuit protection, and LED switching indication\u003cbr data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2379\"\u003e• Status Indicator: Yellow LED Switching Indicator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1cz0398\" data-start=\"2432\" data-end=\"2456\"\u003eCommon Replacements:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2457\" data-end=\"2538\"\u003e• Turck BI5-M18-VP4X-H1141\u003cbr data-start=\"2483\" data-end=\"2486\"\u003e• Turck \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/turck-bi5-m18-vn4x-inductive-proximity-switch-sensor?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=940a4e376\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eBI5-M18-VN4X\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2506\" data-end=\"2509\"\u003e• Turck BI5U-M18-VP4X-H1141\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turck","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51714320597294,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_a3dc6b3f-d6dd-433a-ac65-ff665c554b86.jpg?v=1770422624","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/turck-bi5-m18e-vp4x-inductive-proximity-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
