Inductive sensor for flush mounting

The Turck BI10-G30K-AN6X is a flush-mount inductive sensor designed for metal detection in industrial environments. Its threaded M30 × 1.5 brass barrel allows direct installation into machine frames or brackets. The NPN normally-open output suits PLC inputs that expect a sinking signal. It serves automation engineers and maintenance teams who need reliable presence sensing.

Voltage range and cable connection

The sensor operates on 10…30 VDC from a three-wire DC supply, a common range for control cabinets and field I/O modules. Power, signal and ground run through a fixed cable tail, so the installer must route and protect that cable during mounting. Voltage outside the stated window or a severed cable will stop the device from switching.

10 mm switching distance and 185 g weight

The rated switching distance is 10 mm on standard mild steel targets, giving a practical detection zone for part positioning or end-of-travel checks. The chrome-plated brass housing weighs 185 g and resists coolant splash and mechanical knocks in typical machine-tool settings. Applications needing longer range or non-metallic target detection will require a different sensing principle.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 10 mm switching distance version or a different sensing range?

This model has a rated switching distance of 10 mm, so choose it when your application requires that exact sensing range.

How does the 10 mm rated switching distance behave once the sensor is mounted in a machine?

The 10 mm rated switching distance is achieved with flush mounting in a metal housing, giving a consistent detect point for ferrous targets.

What does the DC 3-wire 10…30 VDC interface mean for my wiring and voltage limits?

It operates on 10 to 30 VDC with a three-wire cable, NPN output, and normally open contact, so wire it within that voltage window.
