Turck BI7-Q08-AP6X2-0.2-RS4T Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI7-Q08-AP6X2-0.2-RS4T inductive proximity sensor is a compact Q08 series, non-contact metal target detector with a 7 mm sensing distance designed for industrial automation. It offers a PNP normally open, 3-wire output and operates on 10-30 VDC with a maximum current of 200 mA, switching up to 500 Hz, making it suitable for part presence verification, machine positioning, end-of-travel sensing, and conveyor sequencing in automated lines. The unit is built in a 32 x 20 x 8 mm Zamak, nickel-plated rectangular housing and mounts flush (embeddable), featuring a 0.2 m pigtail with an M12 4-pin connector for compact integration into packaging equipment, pick-and-place systems, bottling lines, and assembly stations where space is limited. It carries IP67 protection and operates from -25°C to +70°C, with CE, IEC, and RoHS compliance. Notable features include extended sensing distance for its size, reverse polarity protection, short-circuit protection, and dual LED indication for status monitoring. In practice, it is used for metal object detection and machine position sensing in industrial automation environments, and is compatible with common Turck replacements such as BI7-Q08-AP6X2-V2131, BI7-Q08-AP6X2-V1131, and BI8U-Q08-AP6X2-V1131 when upgrading or replacing.
