October 28, 2012 - Balluff releases tiny BMF 243 binary-switching, magnetic-field sensitive, electronic cylinder switches with precise and bounce-free switching response, simple handling and universal use.
The BMF 243 compact sensor offers high performance reserves for cylinders with both weak as well as with strong magnets and convinces with high repeat accuracy and small hysteresis. Thanks to its small dimensions of 3,8 x 24 mm 3,0, it is the ideal choice for particularly small grippers and cylinders with C-slots.
The bracket is already integrated in the sensor. As a result, no additional mounting bracket is necessary: because it is simply inserted into the slot from above, it can be simply mounted anywhere the insertion point for the slot is obstructed or, for example, is covered by weld splatter and dirt. It fits completely into the cylinder slot without protruding. The switch point is adjusted in seconds using a screwdriver. The BMF 243 is supplied with a cable clip that guarantees optimum strain relief and secure cable routing.
