Two Sensors through One Cable Connection
TURCK’s BIM-UNT line of compact cylinder position sensors has been expanded to include a new dual sensor for detecting long and short stroke cylinders. This unique device combines the benefits of two sensors through a single cable connection, lessening wire costs and connection points.
The dual sensor is highly sensitive and accurate and is especially useful for detecting the home and end position of a piston for longer stroke cycles. The sensor’s low profile is suitable for applications where there is minimal clearance around cylinders, and it can be used in places where multiple cylinders are installed, as it only requires one cable. The BIM-UNT is one of the most compact sensors currently available on the market, and may be mounted in T-groove cylinders without requiring additional tools or accessories. Having its active sensing area directly at the end of the sensor’s housing provides an accurate piston detection right up to the end positions—even on short stroke cylinders.
Like all TURCK BIM-UNT sensors, the dual sensor may be used with a variety of mounting brackets and cable connections. In addition, TURCK provides an extensive line of mounting accessories for tie rod, round and dove tail cylinders.
