Turck BI8-M18E-VN4X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI8-M18E-VN4X-H1141 inductive proximity sensor delivers reliable non-contact metal target detection with an 8 mm sensing distance, making it well suited for part presence verification, machine positioning, end-of-travel sensing, and conveyor sequencing in automated lines. Housed in a chrome-plated brass M18 x 1 threaded barrel with flush-mount capability and an M12 male connection, it provides a 3‑wire NPN normally open output rated for up to 200 mA at 10–65 VDC and supports a switching frequency of 500 Hz. The device’s IP67 rating enables robust operation in harsh factory environments across temperatures from -25°C to +70°C, suitable for use in packaging equipment, bottling systems, pallet handling equipment, robotic cells, and other automated production processes. Certified as CE, IEC, and RoHS compliant, it also offers practical features such as LED status indication, short-circuit protection, and reverse polarity protection to aid diagnostics and reliability in industrial automation systems.
