Turck has launched the BIM-UNTK, the shortest magnetic field sensor in its sector, for detecting piston position in compact pneumatic cylinders. With an overall length of only 19,7 mm, the sensor is suited to short stroke cylinders and is ideal for measuring particularly short hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic power clamps and grippers. The user not only benefits from increased switch point accuracy but also from the extremely compact mounting form. The sensor disappears completely in the T-groove and thus does not present a target for any mechanical damage. An LED on the sensor enables the cylinder position to be read directly in the field.
The new BIM-UNTK can be fitted simply into the T-groove of a cylinder from above or from the side and can be secured with a hexagon socket screw. It can be fastened with one hand in the standard T-groove without the need for any additional accessories. Turck also offers suitable mounting accessories for different cylinder and groove sizes for other cylinder types such as tie rod cylinders, round cylinders or dovetail groove cylinders.
The BIM-UNTK is provided with a polyurethane jacketed cable that is suitable as a trailing cable. There is a version with a 2 m cable and an open cable end, as well as two 30 cm pigtail variants with M8 and M12 connectors. The sensors are designed as 3-wire devices with an N/O output (PNP signal) and for temperature ranges from -20 to 70°C.
