Overview
The Turck BI7-Q08-AP6X2-0.2M-PSG3M inductive sensor delivers consistent, contact-free detection in industrial control applications. With a 7 mm sensing distance and compact 8 mm rectangular profile, this embeddable proximity sensor integrates seamlessly into machinery and assembly systems where space is constrained. The PNP output switches at rated distance with hysteresis between 3% and 15%, ideal for metal detection in production lines, part feeding, and automation logic.
