Overview
The Turck BI3-Q06-AP6X2-0.2M-PSG is a subminiature rectangular inductive proximity sensor from Turck’s BI3-Q06 series. It delivers reliable metal object detection in compact industrial automation and motion control systems. The sensor combines a rugged PBT housing with a polyamide sensing face, rated IP67 for machine environments with dust and moisture exposure.
