# What are the characteristics of Balluff's magnetic field sensors?

## Magnetic field sensors to detect cylinder movements

Balluff has magnetic field sensors suitable for various cylinders, such as T-groove, c-groove, etc. Among them, the IO-link magnetic field sensor can detect up to 8 switching points of 60mm stroke outputs.![磁敏开关1](https://kb.innovatingautomation.asia/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Simplified%20Chinese/Image/%E7%A3%81%E6%95%8F%E5%BC%80%E5%85%B3/%E7%A3%81%E6%95%8F%E5%BC%80%E5%85%B31.png?width=338&name=%E7%A3%81%E6%95%8F%E5%BC%80%E5%85%B31.png)Balluff's magnetic field position measuring sensors can continuously measure the position of moving targets through the (non-ferrous metal) walls, which is suitable for different cylinder shapes.

- adjustable measuring range (3-256mm)
- small temperature fluctuation
- very good EMV characteristics

Balluff magnetic field sensor has the following interface types:

- IO-link 
- Namur
- NPN
- PNP, etc.![磁敏](https://kb.innovatingautomation.asia/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Simplified%20Chinese/Image/%E7%A3%81%E6%95%8F%E5%BC%80%E5%85%B3/%E7%A3%81%E6%95%8F.png?width=334&name=%E7%A3%81%E6%95%8F.png)
