Turck M5 inductive sensor PNP

The Turck Bi1-G05-AP6X is a flush-mount inductive proximity sensor with a threaded M5 × 0.5 stainless-steel barrel. It operates on 10–30 VDC three-wire DC supply and provides a normally-open PNP output for presence detection in automation and machine-building tasks.

Switching distance and voltage window

Rated switching distance is fixed at 1 mm, so the sensor only detects metal targets at very close range. The 10–30 VDC supply window suits standard industrial control voltages but excludes 5 V logic rails or higher-voltage distribution buses without a separate supply.

Stainless housing and cable exit

Housing material is 1.4427 SO stainless steel, giving corrosion resistance in coolant splash or wash-down zones. The integral cable connection removes the need for a separate connector but fixes the cable routing at installation. Weighing 32 g, it adds minimal mass to moving fixtures. Not suited for applications needing longer sensing range, connectorised replacement or non-flush mounting.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the M5 × 0.5 threaded barrel or a different size for my fixture?

This sensor only comes with an M5 × 0.5 threaded barrel. Choose it when the mounting hole matches that thread; otherwise select a sensor with the required thread size.

What does the rated switching distance of 1 mean once the sensor is installed?

It detects a standard steel target at 1 mm from the sensing face when mounted flush in metal.

How does the 10…30 VDC supply range limit the PNP output in practice?

The PNP output switches the load to the positive rail, so the load voltage equals the supplied DC voltage anywhere between 10 V and 30 V.
