The TURCK BI5-G18-Y1X is a versatile inductive proximity sensor engineered for universal AC/DC applications. With a 5 mm sensing range and M18 threaded cylindrical housing, it provides reliable metal object detection across a variety of automation environments. This model operates on a 2-wire AC/DC system, allowing easy integration into both PLCs and relay-based systems without the need for complex wiring. It features a normally open (NO) switching function and comes with a pre-wired cable output for direct connection in the field. Its rugged build and IP67 protection make it suitable for harsh environments, including packaging lines, material handling, and industrial machinery. The sensor’s fast response time and long electrical life ensure minimal downtime and high reliability. Key Features: • 5 mm sensing range – flush mount for reliable detection • 2-wire system – compatible with AC or DC circuits • Normally open (NO) switching – simple on/off logic • M18 threaded cylindrical housing – standard industrial form • Cable output – durable and easy to install • High resistance to shock, vibration, and contamination • IP67 ingress protection – ideal for wet and dusty environments • Suitable for both discrete and logic-level control inputs
