Turck BIM-IKM-AZ3X2-B3131 20-250VAC Perma Prox Proximity Sensors

Description:

The Turck BIM-IKM-AZ3X2-B3131 magnetic field sensor is used in pneumatic cylinder position sensing systems. Commonly installed on tie-rod cylinders, profile cylinders, pneumatic actuators, and automated handling equipment used in packaging machinery, assembly systems, and material handling processes. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators use this part for cylinder position feedback replacement, pneumatic system retrofits, machine repairs, and automation upgrades.

Applications:

The Turck BIM-IKM-AZ3X2-B3131 Perma Prox sensor is designed for non-contact piston position detection on pneumatic cylinders in industrial automation environments. It is commonly used in pick-and-place equipment, conveyor diverters, packaging machines, assembly stations, and material handling systems where accurate cylinder position feedback is required for machine sequencing and process control. The magnetic-inductive sensing technology allows reliable detection of piston magnets through aluminum cylinder walls without mechanical wear.
