Turck BIM-UNT dual compact cylinder position sensor

Sunday, 07 February, 2010 | Supplied by: Turck Australia Pty Ltd


The BIM-UNT line of compact cylinder position sensors from Turck has been expanded to include a dual sensor for detecting long and short stroke cylinders in stamping, sorting, conveying and other material handling applications. The device combines two high-accuracy cylinder position sensors through a single cable connection, reducing wire costs and connection points to expedite installation.

The dual sensor delivers high sensitivity and is useful for detecting both the home and end positions of a piston during longer stroke cycles. The sensor’s low profile makes it suitable for applications where there is minimal clearance around cylinders and its single-cable design is designed to be convenient in applications where multiple cylinders are installed.

The BIM-UNT may be mounted in T-groove cylinders without requiring additional tools or accessories. Its active sensing area is located directly at the end of the sensor’s housing, providing accurate piston-end detection, even on short stroke cylinders.

The dual sensor may be used with a variety of mounting brackets and cable connections for further installation flexibility. A line of mounting accessories for tie rod, round and dovetail cylinders are also available.
