Turck BIM-KST-AN6X-V1131 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BIM-KST-AN6X-V1131 magnetic field sensor provides non-contact pneumatic cylinder position sensing for reliable piston feedback in automation environments. It is a 3-wire NPN normally open device that operates from 10–30 VDC with a 200 mA maximum output, using magnetic-inductive sensing to detect magnetic pistons through non-ferrous cylinder walls with wear-free operation. The compact round-cylinder mount measures 37 x 16 x 17 mm and uses an M8 x 1 male connector, with a PA12-GF30 active sensing face in a metal/plastic GD-Zn/Al/PA12-GF30 housing, rated IP67 and operating from -25°C to +70°C, with repeatability ±0.1 mm and hysteresis ≤1 mm. Features include LED switching indication, reverse polarity protection, short-circuit protection, a front active sensing face, and included cylinder mounting hardware, with CE and RoHS compliance for use in packaging machines, conveyor diverters, assembly stations, palletizing equipment, and automated handling systems requiring accurate cylinder position detection and machine feedback.
