Turck M18 Inductive Sensor PNP 8mm Range

The Turck BI8-M18-AP6X is a flush-mount inductive proximity switch with an M18 × 1 threaded barrel. It operates on 10 to 30 VDC and provides a normally open PNP output through a fixed cable connection. The chrome-plated brass housing suits industrial environments where metal targets must be detected at close range.

DC 3-Wire 10-30 VDC Switching Limits

This sensor uses a DC 3-wire circuit limited to a 10 to 30 VDC supply window. The rated switching distance is fixed at 8 mm and cannot be adjusted in the field. The PNP output switches the positive rail only, so the load must be wired between the output and ground. No analogue or IO-Link signalling is available on this model.

Check Mounting Flush and Voltage Before Ordering

Verify that the mounting location allows a flush installation in an M18 × 1 threaded hole with enough cable length for the fixed connection. Confirm the control system accepts a PNP normally open signal and that the supply voltage stays within the 10 to 30 VDC range. Buyers who need a longer sensing distance, an NPN output or a plug-in connector should select a different part number.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8 mm sensing-range version or a shorter-range model?

The 8 mm rated switching distance suits applications needing a larger detection zone; select a shorter-range model only if the target is consistently closer and you need tighter hysteresis.

What does the 8 mm rated switching distance mean once the sensor is mounted in a machine?

It guarantees reliable detection of a standard steel target at up to 8 mm when the M18 barrel is flush-mounted, with the 10…30 VDC supply and PNP output active.

How does the DC 3-wire PNP interface cap the sensor's performance in practice?

The 3-wire PNP output switches the load to the positive rail within the 10…30 VDC range, so the maximum load current and voltage drop are limited by that supply window and the cable connection.
