Industrial inductive sensor PNP
The Turck BI8-M18-VP6X-H1141 is a new inductive proximity sensor with PNP complementary output. It suits automation engineers and maintenance teams who need reliable metal detection in harsh environments. The chrome-plated brass barrel measures M18×1 and carries an IP68 rating for water and dust ingress. Factor 1 sensing treats all metals at the same 8 mm switching distance.
Verify voltage and mounting before ordering
Confirm your control system runs on 10…30 VDC and accepts a 4-wire DC changeover signal. The sensor uses an M12×1 male connector, so the mating cable or junction box must match that thread. Flush mounting is required; ensure the mounting hole and surrounding material allow recessed installation. The uprox®+ design resists magnetic fields, but check that nearby welding or heavy-current conductors do not exceed the specified immunity.
Integrates into DC control loops
The M12×1 connector plugs directly into standard sensor distribution boxes or PLC input modules, freeing panel space by eliminating terminal-block wiring. Rated switching distance of 8 mm lets you position the sensor further from the target, reducing mechanical damage risk. IP68 housing survives wash-down and coolant spray, so the sensor stays in place where lesser seals fail. The 54 g metal body adds negligible mass to moving fixtures.

Questions about this item
Does the sensor come with a mating M12 cable or must it be purchased separately?
Only the sensor with its M12 × 1 male connector is supplied; a compatible 4-wire M12 cable is not included and must be bought separately.
The part number 1634945 lists an 8 mm switching distance — is that the only range available in this M18 housing?
Yes, the BI8-M18-VP6X-H1141 1634945 is the single variant offered; its rated switching distance is fixed at 8 mm with factor 1 for all metals.
What does the IP68 rating mean for daily use on a machine exposed to coolant and wash-down?
IP68 confirms the chrome-plated brass housing is dust-tight and protected against continuous immersion, so coolant splash and high-pressure wash-down will not affect operation.
