For space-critical applications
20 August 2013
With the BMF 243 electronic cylinder switch, Balluff has rounded off its product line of magnetic field sensors for space-critical applications in Pneumatic Cylinders.
The new BMF 243 compact sensor offers high performance reserves for cylinders with both weak as well as with strong magnets and boasts high repeat accuracy and small hysteresis.
Thanks to its small dimensions of 3.8 x 24 x 3mm, it is said to be an ideal choice for particularly small grippers and cylinders with C-slots. With its integrated bracket the sensor is simply inserted into the slot from above, fitting completely into the cylinder without protruding.
The switch point is adjusted in seconds using a screwdriver. The BMF 243 is supplied with a cable clip that guarantees optimum strain relief and secure cable routing.
With the miniature sensors of the Balluff BMF series designers can implement highly dynamic application concepts in pneumatics that can only be realised with low-weight components that have small space requirements.
