Intended use

Sensors in the BMF 415 family are used for detecting the
piston position on pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders in
welding field applications. Flawless function in accordance
with the specifications in the technical data is ensured only
when using original Balluff accessories. Use of any other
components will void the warranty.
Non-approved use is not permitted and will result in the
loss of warranty and liability claims against the
manufacturer.
