The Turck BI4U-M12-AP6X-H1141 is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable and wear-free detection of metal objects. This sensor is equipped with a threaded barrel, M12 x 1, and is constructed from chrome-plated brass, ensuring durability and resistance to harsh industrial environments. The active face of the sensor is made from robust plastic, LCP-GF30, which contributes to its long service life.
With a rated operating distance of 4 mm and a flush mounting condition, this sensor provides a secured operating distance of up to 81% of the nominal sensing range, ensuring accurate and consistent detection. The repeatability of the sensor is within 2% of the full scale, and it features a temperature drift of ±10% to ±15%, maintaining performance within a wide temperature range from -25°C to +70°C.
The BI4U-M12-AP6X-H1141 operates on a supply voltage of 10 to 30 VDC and has a maximum DC rated operational current of 200 mA. It also includes short-circuit protection and wire breakage/reverse polarity protection, enhancing its reliability and safety in operation. The sensor's output function is a 3-wire, normally open contact with a PNP configuration.
This sensor is IP68 rated, signifying its ability to withstand dust, dirt, and moisture, making it suitable for a variety of industrial applications. The switching frequency of the sensor is 3 kHz, allowing for rapid detection of objects, which is essential for high-speed automation processes.
The BI4U-M12-AP6X-H1141 is also factor 1 for all metals, meaning it can detect all types of metals at the same range without any reduction in sensing distance. Its large switching distance and the possibility of recessed mounting provide flexibility in installation and use.
Overall, the Turck BI4U-M12-AP6X-H1141 inductive proximity sensor is a reliable and efficient choice for industrial automation systems requiring precise and durable metal detection capabilities.

Thumbs up to Rob for helping out with an urgent requirement we had on a Friday afternoon. The part we wanted was over in Europe and Rob went out of his way to get it ordered and on site here for the following Tuesday.City Bearings
Absolutely fantastic service. Rob was very helpful. Great communication. Requested part was shipped in no time.Konrad Eliaszuk
Found the component i was looking for ad a great price. Great support from the staff as I was paying using a wire transfer. - Quick delivery and very good packaging.Adriano Tiberi
Extremely Helpful. Shipped me a replacement unit next day and i was up and running within 24 hours. Replacement new from machinery manufacturers was on a 7 day lead time.Sean Conlin
Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
