The Turck BI5U-MT18-AP6X-H1141 is a high-performance inductive sensor designed for reliable and contactless detection of metallic objects. This sensor is part of the BI 5U-MT18 series and features a robust threaded barrel design with an M18 x 1 thread, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Crafted with a durable metal housing that is coated with PTFE, the sensor ensures longevity and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. The active area is made from PBT plastic, also PTFE-coated, to provide additional protection against wear and tear. With an IP68 protection class rating, this sensor is fully dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water, making it an ideal choice for use in environments where moisture and particulate matter are present.
The sensor boasts a 5 mm detection range and is designed to be flush-mounted, ensuring a secured operating distance that maximises sensing performance while minimising false triggering. It operates within a temperature range of -30 to +85 degrees Celsius, which allows for deployment in a variety of temperature conditions without compromising accuracy.
Electrical connection is facilitated through a connector with an M12 x 1 thread, providing a secure and easy-to-install interface. The sensor features a 3-wire, normally open (NO) contact with a PNP output, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of control systems. It also offers a high switching frequency of 1.5 kHz, which is suitable for applications requiring rapid response times.
The Turck BI5U-MT18-AP6X-H1141 is a versatile and reliable sensor that delivers consistent performance, making it a valuable component in any automated system where precision detection of metal objects is critical.
