BM/TB Proximity Switch

Brand: Soldo Controls - by Rotork
Request Information
The SOLDO BM and TB Series Proximity Switches, provides a compact design and a cost saving solution for remote valve position feedback in both linear and rotary applications, as well as general-purpose feedback in explosive atmosphere or subsea environments.

The rugged design and ease installation system, provide maximum application versatility.

TB series is the conjunction of a BM bolt switch with an aluminum or stainless steel junction box, to allow a direct local wire connection. 

BM switch utilize industrial standard 5/8"-18 UNF or M16 x 1.5 threads and each switch is provided with two heavy-duty jam nuts.

BM switches can be mounted with standard brackets or customized ones to suit specific applications.

TB series uses the same BM head mounting pattern with the availability of a junction box screw bottom mounting system.
Features
  • AISI 316 Stainless Steel Rugged BM Series Enclosure
  • Standard 450 mm Flying Leads
  • Stainless Steel or Aluminium Materials for Optional Junction Box with TB Series
  • Magnetic or Ferrous Sensing Capabilities
  • Subsea Application on Request, Tested up to 300 bar
  • Optional Subsea Cable and Connector for Underwater Link
