Turck Bi5-Q08-AP6X2 S34 Inductive Sensor, 10-30 V DC, 5 mm Range

Description:

The Turck BI5-Q08-AP6X2 S34 inductive proximity sensor is used in industrial metal detection and position sensing systems. Commonly installed in packaging machinery, conveyor systems, assembly equipment, robotic work cells, and automated production lines requiring compact non-contact object detection. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for replacement, retrofit, expansion, and automation system repairs.

Applications:

The Turck BI5-Q08-AP6X2 S34 is designed for contactless detection of metallic targets in industrial automation environments. The Turck sensor is commonly used in packaging equipment, pick-and-place systems, assembly fixtures, conveyor systems, and manufacturing machinery where reliable object detection and position feedback are required for PLC-controlled processes. The compact rectangular housing makes it ideal for installations with limited mounting space where traditional cylindrical sensors cannot be mounted while maintaining reliable sensing performance.
