TURCK BI15-M30-AP6X-H1141 Inductive Sensor M30, 15mm Sensing Range, 10-30V DC, PNP, NO, M12 Connector

The TURCK BI15-M30-AP6X-H1141 is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor engineered for the precise, non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial environments. Housed in a durable M30 threaded metal barrel, this sensor provides consistent and reliable operation even in demanding conditions. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into automated systems, offering a 15mm sensing range that ensures accurate position monitoring and object detection without physical contact.

Advantages

This inductive sensor offers exceptional reliability due to its robust construction and high-quality internal components. The non-contact detection method significantly reduces mechanical wear, leading to a longer service life compared to mechanical limit switches. Its wide operating voltage range of 10-30V DC makes it highly versatile for various power supply configurations, while the standardized M12 connector simplifies installation and maintenance procedures in complex machinery.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and assembly lines
• Machine control and positioning tasks
• Detection of metal parts on conveyor systems
• Monitoring the position of mechanical components

This sensor may not be suitable for detecting non-metallic materials such as plastic, wood, or glass, as it relies on electromagnetic fields to identify conductive metal targets. Additionally, it is not intended for use in environments with extreme electromagnetic interference or high-pressure washdown applications unless specifically protected by an appropriate housing.

Key specifications

• Sensing range: 15mm
• Housing diameter: M30
• Operating voltage: 10-30V DC
• Output function: PNP, Normally Open (NO)
• Connection type: M12 connector
• Detection type: Inductive (metal objects)

To use the sensor, mount it securely using the provided threads, ensuring the sensing face is positioned at the correct distance from the target object. Connect the device to a compatible controller using a standard M12 cable. Once powered, the sensor will detect metal objects within its 15mm range and trigger the PNP output accordingly. Ensure that the target material is metallic to guarantee proper signal activation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the target object is made of metal
• Ensure the required sensing distance is within the 15mm limit
• Check that your control system is compatible with PNP output logic
• Confirm the availability of an M12 connection cable

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the sensing face for debris or metal buildup to maintain optimal detection accuracy. Ensure the sensor is mounted away from strong external magnetic fields to prevent false triggering.
