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.
