Turck BIM-AKT-AP6X-H1141 Magnetic Field Sensor

Description:

The Turck BIM-AKT-AP6X-H1141 magnetic field sensor is used in pneumatic cylinder position sensing and actuator feedback systems. Commonly installed on profile cylinders, pneumatic actuators, packaging machinery, assembly equipment, and material handling systems requiring reliable piston position detection. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators use this part for cylinder sensor replacement, automation retrofits, machine repairs, and production line upgrades.

Applications:

The Turck BIM-AKT-AP6X-H1141 is designed for non-contact detection of magnetic pistons within pneumatic cylinders used in industrial automation environments. It is commonly used in packaging machines, conveyor diverters, pick-and-place systems, assembly stations, and automated handling equipment where accurate cylinder position feedback is required for machine sequencing and process control. The magnetic-inductive sensing technology provides wear-free operation while allowing detection through non-ferrous cylinder walls without mechanical contact.
