Turck BI5-M18E-LIU-H1141 1536205 inductive sensor electrician tool

Inductive sensor with M18 threaded barrel

The Turck BI5-M18E-LIU-H1141 is a flush-mount inductive sensor built for industrial electricians and automation engineers who need reliable position detection. Its chrome-plated brass housing and M12 × 1 connector suit control cabinets and machine frames where space is limited. The 4-wire design delivers both voltage and current analogue signals for flexible PLC integration. This sensor fits new installations and replacement jobs that call for an M18 form factor.

4 mm measuring range and 1530 VDC operating voltage

The sensor detects metal targets up to 4 mm away, providing enough headroom for standard presence-sensing tasks on conveyors, lifts or tooling. Analogue output spans 010 V and 020 mA, so a single device can feed either voltage or current inputs without extra modules. At 1530 VDC the supply requirement is specific; systems that run on lower control voltages will need a separate supply rail. The 61 g weight adds negligible load to mounting brackets.

M12 × 1 male connector decides fit

The fixed M12 × 1 male connector determines whether this sensor plugs straight into your existing cordset or junction block. If your wiring uses a different connector thread or a cable tail, this model will not match without an adapter. Buyers who need a cable exit, a different thread size or a digital switching output should select another part. The 3-year parts and 1-year labour coverage applies only when the connector interface is compatible.
