Turck BIM-AKT-AP6X-H1141 Magnetic Field Sensor

The Turck BIM-AKT-AP6X-H1141 magnetic field sensor delivers wear-free, non-contact piston position detection for pneumatic cylinders, using magnetic-inductive sensing to read a piston through non-ferrous walls. Designed for profile cylinders and actuator feedback in packaging machinery, conveyors, pick-and-place lines, assembly stations, and automated handling systems, it provides reliable cylinder position feedback with a compact, rectangular housing and LED status indication. This 3-wire PNP normally open device operates from 10–30 VDC, draws up to 200 mA, and switches at up to 1 kHz. The sensor features a 28 × 30 × 24 mm PA12-GF30 reinforced plastic housing, M12 x 1 male connection, and profile cylinder mounting, with an IP67 protection rating for harsh industrial environments and a operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C. It is CE and RoHS compliant and is commonly used for pneumatic cylinder piston position detection and automation feedback, with common replacements including BIM-AKT-AN6X-H1141 and BIM-IKM-AP6X2-H1141.
