Turck BIM-INT-AP6X-0.5M-PSG Inductive Proximity Switch

The Turck BIM-INT-AP6X-0.5M-PSG3W magnetic cylinder sensor provides wear-free, non-contact piston position detection inside pneumatic cylinders, delivering reliable feedback for automation sequences in packaging machinery, T-slot cylinders, pick-and-place systems, assembly equipment, and material handling lines. It uses magneto-resistive sensing to detect a magnetic piston through non-ferrous cylinder walls, and its compact polypropylene housing is mounted via a slot mount for easy installation on pneumatic cylinders. The sensor outputs a PNP Normally Open (3-wire) signal at 10-30 VDC with a maximum current of 150–200 mA and a 1 kHz switching frequency, and it includes a 0.5 m pigtail cable with a PSG connector. It is IP67-rated for rugged industrial use, operates from -25°C to +70°C, and offers repeatability of ±0.1 mm with hysteresis ≤1 mm. This CE- and RoHS-compliant BIM-INT series device carries MPN 4623597 and provides LED indication along with reverse polarity and short-circuit protection for reliable operation. Common applications include packaging machines, conveyor diverters, palletizing systems, assembly stations, and automated handling equipment requiring accurate cylinder position feedback.
