Inductive sensor for metal detection
The Turck BI8-M18-AN6X is a flush-mountable inductive sensor designed to detect metallic objects in industrial automation. It suits electricians and maintenance engineers who need reliable presence sensing on conveyors or machine guards.
DC three-wire voltage window
Operation is limited to a 10 to 30 VDC supply range, so the sensor cannot be used directly on higher industrial voltages or AC control circuits without an appropriate power supply or interface module.
Eight millimetre rated switching distance
The 8 mm sensing range determines whether the sensor reaches the target through any non-metallic gaps or protective covers; applications needing a longer reach will require a different model.

Questions about this item
Which thread size and sensing distance suit my flush-mount application?
The sensor uses an M18 × 1 threaded barrel and is rated for an 8 mm switching distance when mounted flush in metal.
What does the 8 mm rated switching distance mean on a live production line?
It will reliably detect a standard steel target at up to 8 mm; actual distance can vary with target size, material and mounting conditions.
How does the DC 3-wire 10…30 VDC NPN output connect to a PLC input card?
Wire brown to positive, blue to negative, and black to the PLC sinking input; the sensor pulls the input low when metal enters the 8 mm range.
