| Magnetic field sensor for pneumatic cylinders |
|
Universally applicable Turck sensor reduces installation and operating costs |
Turck will present a new magnetic field sensor for position detection of pneumatic cylinders on the Hannover fair. Der BIM-UNT can detect all standard magnets in pneumatic cylinders safely and without multiple switching points which makes the stocking of different sensor types redundant. Thus the user is able to implement efficient standardisation.
Moreover the BIM-UNT is user-friendly with respect to mounting and adjusting: A fixation lip supports one-hand mounting in the T groove. The sensor can be adjusted in the groove and fixed by a stable wing screw made of tool steel. For vibration-resistant mounting it is simply enough to tighten the screw with a quarter revolution using a standard screw driver or an Allen key. The fixation of the screw near the cable routing prevents an uplift of the sensor when pulling the cable. A useful support for adjustment and operation is the local LED, which displays the switching status of the sensor at any time.
With a total length of only 28 mm the BIM-UNT is one of the most compact sensors on the market. The active faces are located directly at the sensor end and thus enable a safe detection of the piston rod up to the endpostion at the compact short stroke cylinder. Apart from the vibration resistant mounting the excellent EMC properties guarantee a high system availability. The BIM-UNT does not only fulfil the presently valid standard EN 609947-5-2, but also exceed the strict provisions of the coming amendment EN 61000-4-6, which will soon replace the current product standard for proximity switches.
An extensive accessory programme is available for the BIM-UNT . Apart from mounting tools for other cylinder types (e.g. profile, tie-rod, round or dovetail cylinders) the accessory set comprises as well the clip-on tools for fine tuning of the switching point, the fixation tools for subsequent recovery of the switching point and the clips for safe cable routing.
