Turck BI8-M18-AP6X 4615030 Inductive Sensor PNP M18 8mm 10-30VDC

Turck M18 Inductive Sensor PNP 8mm Range

The Turck BI8-M18-AP6X is a flush-mount inductive proximity switch with an M18 × 1 threaded barrel. It operates on 10 to 30 VDC and provides a normally open PNP output through a fixed cable connection. The chrome-plated brass housing suits industrial environments where metal targets must be detected at close range.

DC 3-Wire 10-30 VDC Switching Limits

This sensor uses a DC 3-wire circuit limited to a 10 to 30 VDC supply window. The rated switching distance is fixed at 8 mm and cannot be adjusted in the field. The PNP output switches the positive rail only, so the load must be wired between the output and ground. No analogue or IO-Link signalling is available on this model.

Check Mounting Flush and Voltage Before Ordering

Verify that the mounting location allows a flush installation in an M18 × 1 threaded hole with enough cable length for the fixed connection. Confirm the control system accepts a PNP normally open signal and that the supply voltage stays within the 10 to 30 VDC range. Buyers who need a longer sensing distance, an NPN output or a plug-in connector should select a different part number.
