Turck M30 Inductive Sensor PNP

The Turck BI10-S30-AP6X 46590 is an inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial detection tasks. It features a threaded M30 x 1.5 barrel made from PA12-GF30 plastic housing. The unit operates on a 10 to 30 VDC supply with a 3-wire DC connection and cable termination. This sensor suits automation engineers and maintenance technicians needing reliable non-contact metal detection.

10 mm Flush Mount Switching Distance

The rated switching distance is 10 mm with a flush mounting configuration. This single specification defines the detection range for ferrous targets and dictates installation clearance requirements. The normally open PNP output switches the positive load when a target enters the sensing field. Verify that 10 mm meets the application gap before selecting this part.

Suits Flush Mount DC Automation

This sensor fits machines requiring flush-mounted M30 housings with PNP logic and cable connectivity. It is not for applications needing NPN output, connector-based wiring, or non-flush mounting styles. Buyers who want a longer sensing range, a metal housing, or a different thread size should look at other models.

Questions about this item

How far will the 10 mm rated switching distance actually detect metal on a production line?

The sensor detects ferrous targets at up to 10 mm when mounted flush in a metal plate, giving a reliable on/off signal for position sensing or counting tasks.

What does the PNP output on a 10…30 VDC supply mean for wiring into a PLC input card?

The PNP output switches the positive supply to the load, so the PLC input must be a sinking type; the sensor works across the full 10 to 30 VDC range without recalibration.

What clearance does the M30 × 1.5 threaded barrel need for flush mounting in a fixture?

The M30 × 1.5 thread requires a 30 mm clearance hole and allows the sensor face to sit level with the mounting surface for flush installation.
