Turck BI10-G30SK-AP6X 1636400 inductive sensor PNP M30×1.5 IP68 10 mm 136 g

Industrial Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI10-G30SK-AP6X 1636400 is an inductive proximity sensor built for industrial automation and machine monitoring. It detects metallic targets at a rated switching distance of 10 mm using Factor 1 technology that treats all metals equally. The PNP normally-open output switches loads directly on a 10…30 VDC supply. A stainless steel V2A housing rated IP68 withstands harsh environments and resists magnetic field interference.

Flush-Mount Barrel Integration

The M30 × 1.5 threaded barrel allows flush mounting in metal structures without affecting the sensing field. A built-in terminal chamber provides screw connections so no separate connector or cable harness is required. DC 3-wire operation simplifies wiring to PLC inputs or relay coils. High switching frequency supports fast cycle times on conveyors or indexing tables. The extended temperature range ensures reliable operation in cold stores or near hot processes.

For Rugged Metal Detection

This sensor suits engineers who need a single-device solution for detecting steel, aluminium, brass or stainless at the same range without re-calibration. It fits applications where magnetic welding fields or inductive noise would disrupt standard sensors. Buyers who require analogue output, NPN logic, or a non-flush mounting profile should look at alternative models. The 136 g weight and terminal chamber may not suit ultra-compact or pre-wired installations.
