Turck BI10-M30-AD4X 44170 inductive sensor M30 10 mm 65 VDC

Purpose-built inductive sensor

The Turck BI10-M30-AD4X 44170 is a flush-mountable inductive proximity switch designed for industrial position sensing. Its M30 × 1.5 threaded brass barrel suits machine builders and maintenance engineers who need reliable metal detection in automated equipment. The two-wire DC output simplifies wiring into existing control circuits. Buyers who need non-metallic target detection or analog output should select a different technology.

10 mm switching distance headroom

The sensor provides a rated switching distance of 10 mm on standard ferrous targets, giving clear actuation margin for typical conveyor or valve-position tasks. Performance drops off beyond this range and varies with target material, size and mounting flushness. The 10…65 VDC supply window accommodates common 24 VDC and 48 VDC control buses without extra regulation. Applications requiring longer range or teach-in adjustment need a different model.

Rugged metal housing thermals

Chrome-plated brass construction resists coolant, oil and mechanical impact while dissipating heat from the internal electronics during continuous operation. The sealed cable exit and IP-rated barrel prevent ingress that could cause leakage current or false trips. Two-wire design keeps steady-state current low, so self-heating stays minimal across the full voltage span. No active cooling or forced airflow is required in normal cabinet environments.
