TURCK Bi5U-Q12-AP6X2 Sensor | 5mm, PNP NO, IP68, Q12
TURCK Bi5U-Q12-AP6X2 inductive proximity sensor. Rectangular Q12 housing, 5mm range, PNP normally open, 10-30V DC, IP68, for metal detection.
Product Overview
The TURCK Bi5U-Q12-AP6X2 is a compact rectangular inductive proximity sensor from the uprox+ series. It features a 5 mm rated sensing distance and a Q12 form factor (40 x 26 x 12 mm), making it ideal for space-constrained applications. The sensor operates on 10-30V DC with a PNP normally open (NO) output and offers factor 1 performance (same sensing distance for all metals). Its plastic housing (PA12-GF30) and IP68 protection make it suitable for harsh industrial environments with oil and coolant exposure.
