Industrial Inductive Sensor M8 × 1

The Turck BI1.5U-EG08-AP6X-H1341 is a flush-mount inductive sensor built for industrial automation and machine builders who need reliable metal detection at close range. Its threaded M8 × 1 stainless-steel barrel fits compact installations where space is limited and a factor-1 response across all metals is required.

Sealed Housing and Electrical Ratings

The IP68-rated stainless steel housing (1.4427 SO) resists water ingress, magnetic interference and extended temperature cycles without a cooling fan or moving parts. Power draw stays within a 10…30 VDC three-wire DC supply and the high switching frequency keeps signal latency low during continuous operation.

1.5 mm Rated Switching Distance

The sensor triggers at a rated switching distance of 1.5 mm, so it suits applications where the target passes very close to the sensing face. Buyers needing a longer sensing range or a larger barrel diameter for wider clearance will need a different model.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the M8×1 threaded barrel flush and connect the M12×1 male connector without cross-threading?

Screw the stainless-steel 1.4427 SO barrel into a matching M8×1 threaded hole until the sensor face sits flush with the mounting surface, then hand-tighten the M12×1 connector until the O-ring seats; avoid tools on the connector to prevent thread damage.

What maintenance or replacement will the sensor need after the three-year parts and one-year labor coverage ends?

Periodically wipe the sensing face clean of metal chips or coolant residue; the solid-state uprox®+ element has no moving parts, so no scheduled replacement is required beyond physical damage or cable-connector wear.

At what point does the 10…30 VDC supply limit affect continuous operation at high switching frequency?

The sensor draws only a few milliamps, so voltage drop across long cable runs is the first constraint; keep the supply at the connector above 10 VDC during peak load to maintain reliable switching at the rated frequency.
