Turck BIM-QST-AP6X-V1131 Magnetic Field Sensor

Description:

The TURCK BIM-QST-AP6X-V1131 magnetic field sensor is used in pneumatic cylinder position sensing and actuator feedback systems. Commonly installed on profile cylinders, compact cylinders, 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, machine repairs, automation retrofits, and production line upgrades.

Applications:

The TURCK BIM-QST-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, pick-and-place systems, palletizing equipment, and automated handling systems where accurate cylinder position feedback is required for machine sequencing and process control. The front active sensing face and compact rectangular housing allow installation in confined spaces while providing wear-free operation and long service life.
