M18 inductive sensor for flush mounting

The Turck BI5-G18SK-Y1X 40160 is a chrome-plated brass proximity switch with an M18 × 1 threaded barrel. It operates on a nominal 8.2 V DC supply and provides a NAMUR output compliant with DIN EN 60947-5-6. The sensor is designed for flush installation in metal housings and weighs 89 g. It suits automation engineers and maintenance technicians who need a reliable presence detector in industrial environments.

Stable switching under continuous industrial use

Rated for a 5 mm switching distance, the sensor maintains consistent detection without the drift that can affect short-range burst testing. Its DC 2-wire NAMUR interface delivers a steady signal to compatible intrinsically safe barriers or controllers during prolonged operation. The metal housing and chrome-plated surface resist mechanical wear and chemical exposure common in factory settings. Terminal chamber wiring ensures secure connections that do not loosen under vibration.

Verify voltage supply and barrier compatibility

Before ordering, confirm that your control system provides a nominal 8.2 V DC source and accepts a NAMUR output per DIN EN 60947-5-6. The device requires a compatible isolated barrier or safety interface; it will not connect directly to standard PLC discrete inputs. Check that the M18 × 1 thread matches the mounting hole and that flush mounting is suitable for the target material. Ensure the terminal chamber wiring method fits your installation practice.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the M18 inductive sensor generate during continuous operation?

The sensor is a passive NAMUR device with no moving parts, so it produces no audible noise and negligible heat while running all day.

What external supply or barrier must I already have to power the 8.2 VDC NAMUR output?

You need a NAMUR-compliant isolated barrier or safety interface that provides a nominal 8.2 VDC supply per DIN EN 60947-5-6.

Will the flush-mount M18 × 1 thread fit the same cut-out as my older M18 proximity switches?

Yes, the threaded barrel uses the standard M18 × 1 pitch, so it matches the mounting dimensions of legacy M18 flush sensors.
