Turck BI5U-MT18-AP6X2-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI5U-MT18-AP6X2-H1141 inductive proximity sensor delivers non-contact metal target detection with a 5 mm sensing distance in a rugged M18-form factor, featuring a PTFE-coated brass housing for harsh industrial environments. Running on 10–30 VDC with a 3‑wire PNP normally open output and a maximum 200 mA load, it uses an M12 4-pin male connector and supports a 1.5 kHz switching frequency in a flush-mount (embeddable) design. As part of Turck's UPROX series, it provides Factor 1 sensing for all metals, resistance to weld fields and magnetic fields, and an IP68 rating from -30°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable operation under vibration, shock, and dust-laden conditions. Common applications include part presence verification, machine positioning, end-of-travel sensing, and conveyor sequencing in robotic welding cells, packaging lines, automotive assembly equipment, and other metal-detection tasks on harsh production lines.
