Technical Datasheet: TURCK BI1,5U-EG08-AP6X

Series: uprox® (Factor 1 Inductive Sensor)

Ident-No.: 4600500

1. Product Characteristics & Application

• Sensor Type: Inductive Proximity Sensor

• Housing Design: Threaded barrel type (M8 × 1) with a high-grade stainless steel barrel (EG designator).

• Sensing Range ($S_n$): 1.5 mm

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

• Special Features: uprox® technology (Factor 1) — detects all magnetic and non-magnetic metals (steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, copper) at the exact same sensing distance of 1.5 mm without any reduction factor. It features high magnetic field immunity and excellent operational reliability in compact industrial environments.
