Turck BC10-M30-AZ3X Inductive Proximity Sensor

The TURCK BC10-M30-AZ3X Inductive Proximity Sensor provides non-contact detection of metal objects with a 10 mm sensing distance, delivering reliable switching performance for stable machine operation in harsh industrial environments. Its flush mounting style and M30 x 1.5 threaded barrel design allow easy integration into conveyors, packaging machines, automated production lines, and process equipment. The chrome-plated brass housing supports rugged duty in demanding settings, and the sensor uses a 2-wire normally open output for straightforward wiring. It accepts a wide operating voltage of 20–250 VAC or 10–300 VDC and can supply up to 400 mA, making it compatible with many control circuits and PLC inputs. The device is rated IP67 for protection against dust and water ingress and is rated to operate from –25°C to +70°C, ensuring reliable sensing across typical industrial temperatures; its switching frequency is 0.02 kHz (20 Hz). Common replacements include TURCK BI10-G30-AZ3X-B3131, TURCK BI10U-G30-ADZ30X2-B3131, and TURCK BI10-G30-ADZ30X2-B1131, which serve similar form factors and sensing configurations. This part is used in metal-detection tasks within conveyors, packaging lines, assembly operations, and manufacturing equipment, making it a suitable choice for repair, retrofit, or expansion projects where robust, non-contact metal sensing is required.
