The Turck BI5U-M18-AP6X-H1141 is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable and contactless detection of metallic objects. With its robust threaded barrel design, M18 x 1 size, and chrome-plated brass housing, this sensor is an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial applications where durability and precision are paramount.
Featuring a 5 mm rated switching distance and flush mounting conditions, the sensor ensures a secured operating distance with repeat accuracy of ≤ 2% of full scale. Its temperature drift is minimal, maintaining ≤ ±10% variance, which ensures consistent performance even in challenging environmental conditions ranging from -30 to +85 degrees Celsius.
The sensor operates on a 10 to 30 VDC supply and includes a 3-wire, normally open (NO) contact with a PNP output, making it versatile for various control systems. The electrical connection is facilitated by a convenient M12 x 1 connector. Additionally, the sensor boasts an impressive Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) of 874 years, according to SN 29500 (Ed. 99) at 40 degrees Celsius, highlighting its reliability and longevity.
Protection class IP68 certifies that the sensor is dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. The inductive sensor also features a yellow LED for easy visual indication of the switching state.
This sensor is part of the BI 5U-M18 series known for its Factor 1 technology, which allows for uniform detection of all metals at the same distance, and resistance to magnetic fields, enhancing its versatility and making it a valuable component in a diverse array of industrial settings.

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
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
FIRST TIME WORKING WITH MARVO. THEY HAD WHAT I NEEDED AND TOOK GREAT CARE OF ME AND GOT MY ORDER OUT IMMEDITELY. WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE SERVICE AND THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH. I WILL DEFINITELY WORK WITH THEM QGAIN IN THE FUTURE.Robert Cohen
After ordering an urgent part from Marvo i received a great level of customer service and Rob was very helpful.Claire Hinchliff
Excellent service partially from Mark who stayed late to ensure the part arrived with me same day as this was a critical part for me even though this was my first time using Marvo. I will defiantly be using again.Josh Holt
