Turck BIM-UNR sensors with NPN output

The BIM-UNR magnetic cylinder position sensor range has been expanded to include sensors with NPN outputs.

BIM-UNR sensors are also now enhanced with a combination mounting screw that gives users the flexibility of choosing a 1.3 mm allen key or a flat-bladed screwdriver for sensor installation. Sensors can be securely mounted with a simple quarter turn of the mounting screw, which is located in close proximity to the cable exit. This design ensures the sensors remain firmly fastened, even if a cable is pulled.

With dimensions of 2.9 by 4.6 by 18 mm, the sensor can be inserted into a C-groove from the top rather than from the side. The sensor’s active sensing element is placed at the bottom of the groove - as close to the magnet as feasible - to deliver reliable detection, particularly on short-stroke cylinders. In addition, the sensor provides high immunity to EMC interference, in accordance with EN 60947-5-2.
