Inductive Sensor NPN M30 × 1.5
The Turck BI15-M30-AN6X is a flush-mount inductive proximity sensor built for industrial automation. It detects metal targets at a rated switching distance of 15 mm and operates on 10 to 30 VDC with an NPN normally open output. The chrome-plated brass barrel withstands harsh environments while the cable connection simplifies wiring in control cabinets or on machinery frames.
Cable Connection and Housing
A fixed cable tail replaces a plug connector, reducing potential failure points in high-vibration areas. The metal housing uses CuZn brass with a chrome-plated surface for corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. This construction supports reliable operation where exposure to coolants, oils or physical impact is common.
Rated Switching Distance 15 mm
The 15 mm sensing range determines whether the sensor fits the application geometry; verify the target approach distance before specifying. Buyers who need a longer range or a different output type such as PNP will need a different sensor model.

Questions about this item
How often will the M30 × 1.5 threaded barrel need cleaning or replacement?
The chrome-plated brass housing resists wear in flush-mounted installations; inspect the sensing face periodically and replace the sensor if the 15 mm switching distance becomes unreliable.
What limits continuous operation at the full 30 VDC supply?
The NPN output and 3-wire DC design set the electrical ceiling; sustained voltage above 30 VDC or loads beyond the rated switching distance will trigger protection first.
Does the 201 g sensor generate noticeable heat or noise when powered all day?
Solid-state inductive sensing produces no audible noise and negligible heat; the metal housing dissipates any minor warmth from the 10–30 VDC supply during continuous duty.
