Turck M18 Inductive Sensor PNP 4611030

The Turck BI5-M18-AP6X/S120 is a flush-mount inductive proximity sensor with a threaded M18 × 1 brass barrel. It operates on 10…30 V DC and provides a normally-open PNP output through a cable connection. The housing is chrome-plated brass rated for ambient temperatures up to +120 °C.

Automation Engineers Needing High-Temperature

This sensor suits engineers integrating presence detection into machines that run hot, such as metal-forming or curing equipment where standard probes exceed their thermal limits. It is not for applications requiring a plug-in connector instead of a flying lead, nor for installations needing a non-flush sensing face or an NPN switching output.

Rated Switching Distance 5 mm

The decisive specification is the 5 mm rated switching distance, which defines the maximum reliable detection range for a standard steel target. If the mechanical layout demands a longer or shorter sensing gap, a different sensor must be selected.

Questions about this item

How much heat can the M18 sensor handle during continuous operation?

The housing is rated for temperatures up to +120 °C, so it remains reliable in high-heat industrial environments.

What supply voltage must my control system provide for this PNP sensor?

It operates on 10…30 VDC, so your PLC or controller needs a DC supply within that range.

Can I mount this flush sensor in the same M18 threaded holes used by older inductive probes?

Yes, the M18 × 1 threaded barrel matches the standard mounting pattern for flush-mount M18 sensors.
