Turck M12 inductive sensor for metal detection

The Turck Bi2-G12-AP6X is a flush-mount proximity switch built for industrial electricians and automation engineers who need reliable non-contact sensing of ferrous targets. Its threaded M12 × 1 brass barrel installs directly into machine frames or brackets, and the PNP normally-open output delivers a clean 10–30 VDC signal to PLC inputs or relay logic.

Three-wire DC cable simplifies panel wiring

The sensor terminates in a fixed cable, eliminating separate connector purchases and reducing potential failure points at the junction. A 2 mm rated switching distance lets the device sit behind a protective faceplate while still detecting the workpiece, and the chrome-plated CuZn housing resists coolant splash and mechanical knocks in harsh environments.

Low-mass metal body runs cool with no moving parts

Solid-state switching means zero mechanical wear, silent operation and negligible heat rise during continuous cycling. The 111 g unit draws only the control current required by the connected load, so it adds no meaningful thermal load to the enclosure and requires no additional ventilation or cooling provisions.

Questions about this item

What is the rated switching distance that limits detection range under sustained use?

The rated switching distance is 2 mm, so the sensor will reliably detect metal targets only within that range during continuous operation.

What heat or power characteristics should I expect when the sensor runs all day on a 10–30 VDC supply?

The sensor operates on 10–30 VDC with a PNP NO output and a chrome-plated brass housing that dissipates heat passively; no active cooling is required.

What mounting style and cable preparation must I already have for this M12×1 sensor to work?

The sensor needs a flush mounting hole for an M12×1 threaded barrel and a cable connection compatible with its DC 3-wire PNP output.
