V-Twin Magnetic Field Sensor

Balluff has expanded its magnetic field sensor portfolio with the new V-Twin - two sensors, one connector. The low profile design allows the user to reduce installation time and cost by requiring only one four-conductor cable with either M8 or M12 connections for two end of stroke sensors. The BMF V-Twin also features:

  • 1 connection for 2 sensors — making it ideal for detecting multiple positions on pneumatic grippers and cylinders.
    Availability in several sizes and form factors to cover applications from grippers and short stroke cylinders to C-Slot, T-Slot round and tie rod cylinders.
  • Weld field immune versions that are also available.
    Magneto-resistive technology that detects the piston magnet through the aluminum wall of the cylinder.
  • Universal compatibility with either "Hall Effect" or "Reed Switch" cylinder magnet polarizations.
  • Reduction or elimination of double switch points.
  • Higher noise immunity.
  • Elimination of electrical contact wear and sticking.
