Technical Datasheet: TURCK BI4U-MT12-AP6X-H1141

Series: uprox®+ (Extended Range Factor 1 Sensor)

Ident-No.: 1634809

1. Product Characteristics & Application

• Sensor Type: Inductive Proximity Sensor

• Housing Design: Threaded barrel type (M12 × 1) with a robust chrome-plated or Marine-grade Brass barrel construction (MT designator).

• Sensing Range (Sn): 4 mm (Extended sensing range for M12 flush size)

• Mounting: Flush mountable (indicated by the flush installation graphic layout on the packaging label).

• Special Features: uprox®+ technology (Factor 1) — detects all magnetic and non-magnetic metals (steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, copper) at the exact same extended distance of 4 mm without any reduction factor. It features exceptional immunity to strong DC and AC magnetic fields (weld-field immune), making it an excellent fit for automotive body welding applications, high-speed automated assembly lines, and precision machinery.
