Bimba Position Feedback Cylinders Non-Contact
Bimba’s Non-Contact Position Feedback Cylinders employ a new magnetostrictive sensor. The sensor
tip, fixed inside the cylinder, senses position as a magnet mounted to the piston moves back and forth
across the sensor tip's length. This provides many important advantages, and makes the Non-Contact
Position Feedback Cylinder the preferred solution for closed-loop pneumatic positioning applications.
• The PFCN is immune to many of the conditions that deteriorate older technology PFC’s,
such as the presence of moisture, dirt, dirty air lines, and debris generated as pneumatic
products wear, especially at high speeds.
• The PFCN is immune to wear from oscillation back and forth over a narrow range of stroke.
• The PFCN is calibrated for 0 volts fully retracted and 10 volts fully extended for all stroke
lengths. Both offset and scale factor are user adjustable. This simplifies installation of multiple
cylinders in an application and recalibration of replacement cylinders.
• The PFCN connector is sealed to IP68.
Avoid applications that subject the non-contact PFC to:
• Side loads (Guiding is required. For detail on acceptable side loads contact Bimba Technical
Support.)
• High speeds above 10 in/sec with no means to control impact energy at end of stroke
• High temperatures 200°F
• Low temperatures below - 20°F
• High electric or magnetic fields
