Turck Bi5U-G18-ADZ30X2-B3331 Proximity Sensor

Turck BI5U-G18-ADZ30X2-B3331 is a compact, embeddable inductive proximity sensor that detects metal targets without contact, delivering reliable position sensing in demanding industrial environments. Housed in an M18 x 1 threaded barrel with a PTFE-coated brass body, it features a 5 mm nominal sensing distance and an IP67-rated enclosure suitable for use on conveyors, welding fixtures, packaging lines, and other metal-target detection applications. The sensor provides a normally open, 2-wire output with a 3-pin connection and a 1/2-inch male connector, and it supports supply voltages from 20-250 VAC or 10-300 VDC with a current rating up to 400 mA AC / 300 mA DC. Its magnetic-field resistance and embeddable design make it well-suited for welding cells, robotic assembly, metal fabrication equipment, and automated production lines where non-contact sensing is required. Operating temperature is -25°C to +70°C, and the device is part of Turck's UPROX series, offering inductive sensing in harsh industrial environments.
