"Extremely helpful. They shipped me a replacement unit the next day, and I was up and running within 24 hours. A brand-new replacement from the machinery manufacturer would have had a 7-day lead time."
The Turck BI5U-M18-AP6X is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor designed for precise and reliable detection of metal objects. Featuring a robust threaded barrel design with M18 x 1 dimensions, this sensor is constructed from chrome-plated brass, ensuring durability and resistance to harsh industrial environments. With a rated switching distance of 5 mm and flush mounting capabilities, it offers consistent performance across various applications. The sensor operates on a DC 3-wire system with a voltage range of 10 to 30 VDC, providing a PNP output with a normally open contact. Its high switching frequency of 1.5 kHz makes it suitable for fast-paced operations. The BI5U-M18-AP6X is equipped with comprehensive protection features, including short-circuit and reverse polarity protection, and is rated IP68 for excellent resistance to dust and water ingress. Its advanced design includes a patented ferrite-coreless multi-coil system, allowing it to detect all metals at the same large switching distance while being resistant to magnetic fields. This sensor is ideal for applications requiring reliable, contactless metal detection in challenging conditions.

Found the part we needed at the best price. I spoke with Rob to make sure it was actually in stock, as many companies don’t really have it available to ship. It was ready, checked, and shipped, and we received it within a few days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
