Bimba offers pre-tested Position Sensing Solutions for Bimba actuators. Our solutions provide a cost effective interface between the pneumatic actuators and electrical control systems. Our pre-tested solutions also eliminate costly, time-consuming design and fabrication required if switches are purchased separately and provide an aesthetically pleasing installation.
Both traditional Bimba switches as well as newer generations of Bimba switches are offered to allow for maximum flexibility to fit your application.
The switches perform the same functions as conventional limit switches. They can be used as position indicators, cycle counters, or to confirm operation.
All Bimba switches are designed to sense a magnet that is incorporated into the piston of the cylinder. Magnets are standard in Bimba MRS cylinders, but must be purchased as an option on other Bimba actuators.
A variety of outputs are offered for each switch family including PNP (transistor sourcing), NPN (transistor sinking), normally open contacts, and higher power triac.
