Purpose-built sensor for metal detection

The Turck BI5-M18-VP4X 15611 is an inductive proximity sensor designed to detect metallic objects at a rated switching distance of 5 mm. It suits automation engineers and maintenance technicians who need reliable presence sensing in industrial environments. The PNP complementary output provides both normally open and normally closed signals for flexible control logic.

M18 threaded barrel fits standard mounting points

A chrome-plated brass housing with M18 × 1 threads allows flush installation into existing machine frames or brackets. The 4-wire DC cable connection supplies power and carries both output states without extra terminal blocks. Metal construction resists mechanical shock and chemical exposure common in factory settings.

Stable switching under continuous DC voltage

Rated for 1065 VDC operating voltage, the sensor maintains consistent switching behaviour during extended duty cycles. The complementary PNP output reduces wiring complexity while delivering dependable signal integrity over long cable runs. Weighing 134 g, it adds minimal mass to moving assemblies.

Questions about this item

How does the 5 mm rated switching distance behave when the sensor runs continuously?

The 5 mm switching distance is the guaranteed operating point; sustained operation does not change this rated value.

What heat or power rise should I expect from the 1065 VDC supply during all-day use?

The sensor draws only the current required by its PNP output stage, so heat and power rise remain minimal under normal load.

Which mating cable or connector must I already have for the 4-wire cable connection?

A compatible 4-wire DC cable with the correct pin-out for PNP complementary output is required.
