Turck BI8U Series Inductive Barrel-Style Proximity Sensor, M18 x 1, 8 mm Detection, PNP Output, 10 → 30 V dc,

High impact and thermal resistance

To give your pick-and-place equipment a light touch, use this proximity sensor from Turck. Its inductive sensing technology means it quickly spots the presence of most ferrous metals, reliably detecting aluminium, brass, copper and iron objects. As no physical contact is needed, there's little risk of damage to sensitive components. This also gives the device an extended lifespan with a mean time to failure of 874 years, as there's minimal wear and tear. A handy yellow LED conveniently lets you know the module's switching state. You can put it to the test in harsh environments as it withstands vibration and shock.

• IP68-rated housing is dust-tight and protected against submersion in up to 1.5m of water for 30 minutes
• Corrosion-resistant chrome-plated housing for compatibility with humid settings
• Short-circuit protection reduces the chance of damage from power spikes
• Patented multi-coil system gives a reliable switching distance of 8mm
• Flush mounted to help reduce interference from neighbouring sensors

• Automated assembly lines
• Airports
• Lifting and hoisting equipment
• Security systems

Yes, it's insulated to make sure you're safely protected against electric shocks.
