Industrial inductive sensor
The Turck BI8U-M18-AN6X 1644736 is a flush-mountable inductive proximity sensor built for industrial automation. Its M18 × 1 threaded brass barrel with chrome plating installs directly into machine frames. The NPN normally-open output switches on a 10…30 VDC supply through a fixed cable connection.
Sustained-load behaviour
The uprox®+ design delivers Factor 1 switching distance on all metals without correction factors. Rated switching distance is 8 mm and remains stable across the full voltage and temperature range. IP68 sealing and magnetic-field immunity maintain reliable operation in coolant, wash-down and welding environments.
Deciding specification
The NPN output type determines compatibility with your controller input cards; PNP-input systems cannot use this sensor. The 3-wire DC cable terminates in bare leads for direct wiring into terminal blocks or connector blocks.

Questions about this item
Does the BI8U-M18-AN6X draw much power when it runs all day on a 30 VDC supply?
The sensor operates on 10…30 VDC with a DC 3-wire connection; its no-load current is low, so continuous power draw remains minimal.
What voltage source and wiring does the BI8U-M18-AN6X need to work?
It requires a DC supply between 10 and 30 VDC and a three-wire cable for the NPN output; no extra modules are necessary.
Will the BI8U-M18-AN6X fit into the same M18 threaded holes as my older inductive sensors?
Yes, it uses an M18 × 1 threaded barrel and flush mounting, so it matches existing M18 cut-outs.
