Position Sensing Solutions

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.
