A twin-set sensor comprises two BIM-UNT sensing heads connected by an over-molded cable. Power and signal wires are combined into an integral M12 connector on the sensor. So only one 4-wire cordset is needed to connect the unit to a PLC on medical equipment. The device is useful for detecting the extended and retracted position of the cylinder's piston for longer cycles, and has high sensitivity and switching accuracy. A BIM-UNT universal magnetic-field sensor detects the position of a piston on standard pneumatic cylinders. It is highly immune to EMC, polarity protected, has reliable switching points, and a fast response time. These features make the BIM-UNT an alternative to traditional cylinder-position sensors.
