Balluff has expanded its line of magnetic field sensors with the introduction of the BMF 235, designed to fit a wide variety of T-slots.
Cylinder positions can be detected on virtually any aluminium-walled pneumatic cylinder with integral T-slots, including short-stroke cylinders and grippers.
The BMF 235 magnetic field sensor is available in PNP normally open and normally closed versions in a tough IP67 housing, each with cable or pigtail M8 or M12 connectors
The sensor features a short 23mm housing and an ultra-bright LED for diagnostics.
The BMF 235 drops into the T-slot from above and is secured using a standard screwdriver or an Allen key.
The sensor installs flush in the slot with nothing protruding for safe, secure mounting in space-restrictive applications.
A cable clip is provided with the sensor for strain relief and ease of cable routing.
This mini-sensor is said to feature high accuracy, short over travel and low hysteresis.
The BMF 235 is available in PNP normally open and normally closed versions in a tough IP67 housing, each with cable or pigtail M8 or M12 connectors.
For additional installation and product savings, the BMF 235 is available in Balluff's V-Twin version of two sensors - one connector (M8 or M12).
The V-Twin versions are cost effective when sensing multiple points and provide a means of doubling the number of inputs when using twin I/O field modules or splitter boxes.
