Technical Datasheet: TURCK BI10U-MT18-AP6X-H1141

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

Ident-No.: 1644831

1. Product Characteristics & Application

• Sensor Type: Inductive Proximity Sensor

• Housing Design: Threaded barrel type (M18 × 1) with a robust chrome-plated or Marine-grade Brass barrel construction (MT designator).

• Sensing Range (Sn): 10 mm (Ultra-extended sensing range for M18 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 10 mm without any reduction factor. It features ultimate 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 heavy-duty machinery.
