BI8-M18-VP6X is a Turck inductive sensor in an M18 x 1 chrome-plated brass housing with an increased 8 mm switching distance for flush mounting. Its complementary PNP output switches one NO and one NC signal at the same time.
- Sensing distance: 8 mm, flush mounting; secured operating distance ≤ 0.81 × Sn
- Output: PNP, complementary (NO + NC); up to 200 mA; switching frequency 500 Hz
- Supply: 10...30 VDC, 4-wire, no-load current 15 mA, voltage drop ≤ 1.8 V
- Protection: short circuit, wire break and reverse polarity
- Housing: M18 x 1 thread, chrome-plated brass, PA12-GF30 sensing face, thread length 45 mm, nut torque up to 25 Nm
- Environment: IP67, ambient temperature -25...+70 °C
- Connection: 2 m PVC cable (LifYY), 4 x 0.34 mm², Ø 5.2 mm
A yellow LED shows the switching state. Correction factors for other target metals (St37 steel = 1): aluminium 0.3, brass 0.4, stainless steel 0.7.
MTTF 2283 years acc. to SN 29500 (40 °C).
