The TURCK BI5-G18-AZ3X2-B3331 is a non-flush inductive proximity sensor engineered for high-reliability metal detection in industrial environments. With a sensing range of 5 mm and a robust M18 cylindrical housing (G18), it offers optimal balance between detection distance and mechanical ruggedness. This model provides an NPN (sinking) output with normally open switching logic and operates on a standard 10…30 VDC supply. The 3-wire configuration and PVC cable ensure easy integration into control systems. Designed to meet the demands of machine automation, the BI5-G18-AZ3X2-B3331 delivers consistent switching behavior with high resistance to vibration and electrical noise. Its durable construction and IP67 protection rating allow usage in harsh environments such as packaging, automotive assembly, or conveyor systems. Key Features: • 5 mm sensing range – non-flush mount for extended detection • NPN output (Normally Open) – for sinking input applications • 3-wire DC, 10…30 VDC supply voltage • G18 cylindrical housing – M18 threaded for easy mounting • Cable output (PVC) – simple wiring and robust strain relief • High switching reliability in noisy and industrial environments • IP67 protection – ideal for wet, dusty, or mechanical stress zones • Suitable for detection on moving metal targets in automation systems
