Industrial inductive sensor for electricians
The Turck BI5U-EM18-AN6X-H1141 is a flush-mount M18 × 1 sensor with an NPN normally-open output. It operates on 10…30 VDC through a three-wire DC connection and terminates in an M12 × 1 male connector. The stainless-steel housing uses grade 1.4301 (V2A) for corrosion resistance. This unit suits maintenance and automation engineers who need reliable metal detection in harsh environments.
Sustained-load detection performance
Rated switching distance is 5 mm with factor 1 across all metals, so ferrous and non-ferrous targets trigger at the same range. High switching frequency supports rapid cycling on conveyor or packaging lines without signal degradation. The uprox®+ design maintains consistent output during continuous operation, and resistance to magnetic fields prevents false trips near welding equipment or large motors. Buyers who need analogue output or longer range should consider other models.
Environmental durability and power
Protection class IP68 seals the barrel against dust and prolonged immersion, while the extended temperature range handles cold stores and hot process zones. Current draw stays within the 10…30 VDC supply window, and the 45 g weight adds minimal mass to moving fixtures. The connector format allows quick replacement without rewiring. Installations requiring AC supply or wireless signalling are not supported by this device.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the M18 sensor generate when running continuously on a 30 VDC supply?
The sensor draws only a few milliamps at 10…30 VDC, so self-heating stays negligible even during all-day operation.
What mating connector and cable do I need to plug into the M12 × 1 male port?
Use a standard M12 × 1 female cordset with three conductors for the 10…30 VDC supply and NPN output.
Can the stainless-steel M18 barrel be flush-mounted in an existing steel bracket without losing its 5 mm sensing distance?
Yes, the uprox®+ Factor 1 design maintains the full 5 mm range on all metals, including the steel bracket itself.
