Turck BI5GT18ADZ30X2S34 Valve Position Sensor

The Turck BI5GT18ADZ30X2S34 valve position sensor provides non-contact inductive feedback for valve actuators and valve assemblies, delivering reliable open/close position signals in industrial automation. Housed in a nickel‑plated brass M18 cylindrical body with an M12 connector (H1141 style) and IP67 protection, it is built for harsh process environments and operates from -25°C to +70°C. The GT18‑series sensing distance is ~5 mm (variant dependent), and the unit offers dual PNP outputs for configurable open/close feedback depending on model, powered by 10–30 V DC with a switching frequency up to ~1 kHz. Its primary function is to detect valve or actuator position via inductive field sensing, making it suitable for valve position monitoring, actuator feedback, and process automation across process industries, chemical plants, water treatment, oil and gas equipment, and general industrial automation systems.
