Turck BIM-UNT-AN6X 4685702 Magnetic Field Sensor

Description:

The TURCK BIM-UNT-AN6X magnetic field sensor is used in pneumatic cylinder position sensing and actuator feedback systems. Commonly installed on T-slot cylinders, dovetail cylinders, short-stroke cylinders, and pneumatic actuators used in 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-UNT-AN6X 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 magneto-resistive sensing technology provides wear-free operation while allowing reliable detection through non-ferrous cylinder walls without mechanical contact.
