The Turck BI5-G18-AP6X-B1441 is a high-performance inductive sensor designed for reliable detection of metallic objects in a variety of industrial applications. This sensor features a robust, chrome-plated brass barrel with an M18 x 1 thread, making it suitable for flush mounting in tight spaces. With a rated switching distance of 5 mm, it ensures precise operation and includes a secured operating distance of ≤ (0.81 × Sn) mm to maintain accuracy and repeatability.
Equipped with a 3-wire, normally open (NO) PNP output, the sensor operates within a 10 to 30 VDC range and is capable of handling a DC rated operational current of ≤ 200 mA. The inclusion of short-circuit protection and wire breakage/reverse polarity protection ensures the sensor's longevity and reliability in demanding environments.
The BI5-G18-AP6X-B1441 is designed to withstand harsh conditions, featuring an IP67 protection class rating, which means it is dust-tight and can resist water ingress, making it suitable for use in a wide range of environmental conditions. The sensor's operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C allows for deployment in diverse climates without compromising performance.
With a switching frequency of 0.5 kHz, this sensor is capable of rapid detection, which is essential for high-speed automation processes. The LED indicator provides clear, visual confirmation of the switching state, enhancing ease of use and monitoring.
This sensor is an ideal choice for those seeking a durable, accurate, and easy-to-install solution for metal detection in automation, assembly lines, and machinery applications. Its technical sophistication and build quality make it a valuable component in any industrial setting.
