Overview
The Turck BI10-S30-RZ3X is a rugged inductive proximity sensor engineered for metal detection in factory automation and process control. With a 10mm rated switching distance and flush-mount capability, this M30 x 1.5 threaded barrel design integrates seamlessly into machinery and assembly equipment. The sensor operates across a wide voltage range (AC 20–250 VAC / DC 10–300 VDC) and features a normally closed (NC) 2-wire contact output, making it compatible with standard industrial control systems and PLCs.
Key Features
- 10mm sensing range — accurate proximity detection for ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- M30 x 1.5 threaded barrel — flush-mount installation with standard industrial thread pattern
- Dual-voltage input — AC 20–250 VAC and DC 10–300 VDC operation from single sensor
- IP67 protection — sealed against dust and moisture for washdown and outdoor use
- NC 2-wire output — simple wiring to relays, PLC inputs, or controller modules
- Glass-reinforced plastic housing — PA12-GF30 construction for chemical and UV resistance
