The TURCK BI5-M18-AP6X is an inductive proximity sensor built to deliver consistent performance in automation systems requiring flush mounting and reliable metal object detection. With a 5 mm sensing range and a M18 threaded housing, it offers straightforward integration into standard mounting configurations. This sensor features a PNP normally open (NO) output, suitable for general-purpose switching in automated machinery and equipment. The brass housing, finished with nickel plating, provides excellent durability and resistance to shock, vibration, and contaminants such as oil and dust. Equipped with a 3-wire cable output, it ensures secure and flexible wiring in field conditions. With IP67 protection, this sensor is ideal for wet, dusty, or mechanically intensive environments such as conveyors, packaging machines, and assembly stations. Key Features: • 5 mm flush sensing range for precise object detection • M18 brass housing – nickel-plated for corrosion resistance • 3-wire PNP output – Normally Open (NO) switching • Integrated cable connection for secure installation • IP67-rated – dust and water-resistant • High mechanical robustness and electrical reliability • Suitable for diverse industrial automation tasks
