Turck has extended its cable range for its BIM-UNT sensor family for position detection in pneumatic cylinders. In addition to the standard oils resistant PUR cable, Turck also offers a heat-resistant as well as a food safe and chemically resistant cable for the sensors. S1160 is a halogen-free, irradiated, flame-resistant and contact heat resistant quality cable in this range. BIM-UNT sensors with S1160 cable are available as pigtails with 30 and 60 cm cable lenghts and M12x1 connector as well as 2 m cable lengths. Turck offers the S1165 (TPE) quality cable for application is areas where chemical resistance, food safety or temperature stability are primary requirements. Cables of this type are available in 2 m cable length for temperature ranges from -40°C up to +100°C.The BIM-UNT can detect all standard magnets in pneumatic cylinders safely and without multiple switching points. With a total length of only 28 mm the BIM-UNT is one of the most compact sensors on the market. The active faces are located directly at the sensor end and thus enable a safe detection of the piston rod up to the endpostion at the compact short stroke cylinder. Apart from the vibration resistant mounting the excellent EMC properties guarantee high system availability. The BIM-UNT does not only fulfil the presently valid standard EN 609947-5-2, but also exceed the provisions of the coming amendment EN 61000-4-6, which will soon replace the current product standard for proximity switches.
