Overview
The Turck BI7-Q08-AP6X2-0.2-PSG3M is a flush-mount inductive proximity sensor engineered for precision object detection in industrial automation and motion control applications. With a rated switching distance of 7 mm and compact rectangular housing, this sensor integrates seamlessly into assembly lines, material handling systems, and production equipment. The embeddable design allows for easy installation without external mounting brackets.
Key Features
