Magnetic Field Sensor suits space-critical applications.
Press Release Summary:
Used for position detection, flush mounting BMF 243 C-slot sensor is based on GMR technology and offers drop-in installation. Short circuit, overload, and reverse polarity protection are standard along with cable clip that ensures strain relief and secures cable routing. Measuring 3.8 x 24 x 3 mm, miniature sensor also comes in V-Twin version – 2 sensors with one connector. Integrated bracket lets sensor be inserted into slot from above, fitting completely into cylinder without protrusion.

New Magnetic Field Sensor for Space Critical Applications
Flush mounting compact sensor for position detection
Florence, KY – Introducing the newest member of Balluff‘s magnetic field sensors - the BMF 243 drop-in C-slot sensor. Based on GMR technology these sensors provide improved sensor performance and better reliability that results in less downtime and increased productivity. Like all of the other Balluff magnetic field sensors, the BMF 243 is backed by Balluff’s exclusive LIFETIME warranty.
Features of the new BMF 243 sensor:
Installs from above for easy drop-in installation
Superior holding strength
Miniature design for short stroke cylinders
Precise, accurate switch point
Short circuit, overload and reverse polarity protected
The new BMF 243 compact sensor offers high performance reserves for cylinders with both weak as well as with strong magnets and offers high repeat accuracy and small hysteresis. Thanks to its small dimensions of 3.8 x 24 x 3 mm, it’s the ideal choice for particularly small grippers and cylinders with C-slots. With its integrated bracket, the sensor is simply inserted into the slot from above, fitting completely into the cylinder without protruding. The BMF 243 is supplied with a cable clip that guarantees optimum strain relief and secures cable routing.
The BMF 243 is also available in the popular V-Twin version – two sensors with only one connector, providing substantial cost savings, and reduced installation times.
With the miniature sensors of the Balluff BMF series, designers can implement highly dynamic application concepts in pneumatics that can only be realized with low-weight components that have small space requirements. The BMF 243 compact sensor ideally complements two other Balluff miniature sensors: the BMF 103, the shortest cylinder switch on the market and the BMF 303 where by selecting the right bracket you can adapt the sensor to virtually any pneumatic cylinder.
