Overview
The Turck BI1-EG05-AP6X-V1331 is a flush-mount inductive proximity sensor designed for contactless, wear-free metal object detection in industrial automation. This sensor offers M5 x 0.5 threaded barrel and M8 x 1 flange connector design, making it suitable for embedded mounting in machine tooling and assembly fixtures. The sensor provides a 1mm rated switching distance and operates on 10-30 VDC supply power.
Key Features
- High-frequency electromagnetic AC field that interacts with the target for precise object detection
