This magnetic field sensor detects the piston position of pneumatic cylinders fitted with a magnetic piston, providing a PNP normally open output for direct connection to a PLC or controller input. It is housed in an aluminium body with a PU sensing surface, rated IP67 for use in harsh industrial environments, and connects via an M8x1 three-pin male connector. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC and mounts using the BMF 305-HW* bracket, suiting installation on standard cylinder profiles in automation and machine building applications.
