Turck BI20 Series Inductive Block-Style Proximity Sensor, 20 mm Detection, PNP Output, 10 → 65 V dc, IP68

Want to monitor an object in a specific range? This proximity sensor from Turck does the fieldwork for you. It has an inductive function, which means it emits an electromagnetic field that reacts to ferrous metals passing through it. A glass-filled PBT housing delivers thermal resistance to beat the heat in harsh settings. Thanks to the combined protection against short circuits and reverse polarity, the unit stands up to fault currents that may occur in your circuit. An MTTF of 874 years shows the device is in it for the long haul.

• Lack of physical contact minimises the risk of mechanical wear
• Minimal switching current of 200mA for energy efficiency
• Repeat accuracy of ≤2% of the full scale gives reliable operation
• Integrated LED indicators enable speedy status configuration

• Packaging facilities
• Material handling
• Security systems
• Aviation engineering

It can detect items at a distance of up to 20mm, making it ideal for short-range applications.

Yes, this sensor is shielded to protect the signals from EMI and static noise for clear transmissions.

Turck Banner Inductive Proximity Sensors

Inductive sensors are designed for contact-less and wear-free detection. They are the perfect solution for breweries, frozen food, dairies and packaging applications. Resistant to cleaning agents and disinfectants and exceed the protection classes IP68 & IP69K. These sensors are available as standard versions in chrome plated brass blocks or stainless steel housing with LCP front cap and double lip seal for heavy use or sudden changes in temperature. All inductive sensors of the new uprox+ generation operate with highest switching distances, feature an extended temperature range and are easily mounted.
