Turck BC10-M30-AZ3X Inductive Proximity Sensor

The TURCK BC10-M30-AZ3X Inductive Proximity Sensor is a compact, non-contact metal-detection switch with a 10 mm sensing range, designed for rugged industrial automation. It features a chrome-plated brass M30 × 1.5 threaded barrel and flush-mount housing for reliable installation in tight spaces. The sensor uses a fixed cable and delivers a normally open (NO), 2-wire AC/DC output, making it compatible with a wide voltage range: 20–250 VAC or 10–300 VDC, with a rated output current up to 400 mA (AC) and a switching frequency of 20 Hz. It carries an IP67 protection rating and operates over -25°C to +70°C, suitable for conveyors, packaging machinery, material handling equipment, machine tools, and automated production lines where wear-free metal object detection improves process reliability. The product is manufactured by TURCK, part number BC10-M30-AZ3X, with an alternate reference of 23100, and is commonly replaced by TURCK BI10-G30-AZ3X or BI10-G30-RZ3X proximity sensors. This inductive proximity sensor is intended for non-contact metal object detection in factory automation and industrial control systems.
