Turck Inductive Block Proximity Sensor, M12, PNP NO, 10 → 30 V dc

The BIM-IKM series are activated by magnetic fields making them ideally suited for detecting piston positions in pneumatic cylinders. As magnetic fields can permeate non-magnetized metals, these units can detect the position of a piston with a permanently mounted magnet through the aluminium wall of the cylinder. They are made even more versatile thanks to having a wide voltage range of 10 to 65 Vdc. A yellow LED indicates the switching state making it easier to monitor.

Weld-field immune permaprox sensors "freeze" the switching status when detecting a magnetic AC field (50 to 60 Hz). This prevents false switching operations during the welding process. The sensor will resume normal operation when the AC field disappears.
