Turck BIM-KST-AP6X-V1131 Magnetic Field Sensor

Description:

The Turck BIM-KST-AP6X-V1131 magnetic field sensor is used in pneumatic cylinder position sensing and actuator feedback systems. Commonly installed on round pneumatic cylinders, packaging machinery, assembly equipment, pick-and-place systems, and material handling equipment 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-KST-AP6X-V1131 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, assembly stations, palletizing equipment, and automated handling systems where accurate cylinder position feedback is required for machine sequencing and process control. The magnetic-inductive sensing technology provides wear-free operation while allowing reliable detection through non-ferrous cylinder walls without mechanical contact.
