Turck BIM-INT-AP6X-V1131 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BIM-INT-AP6X-V1131 is a magnetic cylinder sensor for pneumatic cylinder position sensing and actuator feedback in industrial automation. It provides non-contact detection of magnetic pistons through aluminum cylinder walls using magnetic-inductive sensing for wear-free operation. Commonly installed on T-slot cylinders and profile cylinders, as well as packaging machines, conveyor diverters, pick-and-place equipment, palletizing and other material handling systems, it delivers cylinder piston position feedback essential for machine sequencing and process control. The 3-wire PNP normally open output operates from 10-30 VDC and draws up to 200 mA, with a switching frequency of up to 1 kHz, and is mounted via a T-slot cylinder mount using an M8 male connector. The rugged reinforced thermoplastic housing carries IP67 protection and supports operation from -25°C to +70°C, with CE, EN 60947-5-2, and RoHS compliance. Key features include LED indication, wear-free sensing, compact low-profile design, and resilience to shock and vibration, making it a reliable choice for automation retrofits and production line upgrades. Common replacements include BIM-INT-AN6X-V1131, BIM-NST-AP6X-V1131, and BIM-KST-AP6X-V1131.
