Description

The Bimba HCQ is a track-mounted solid state position switch in the HC/HK series. It is compatible with Bimba Flat-I®, Square Flat-I®, Flat-II®, Square Flat-II®, and Ultran® actuators (Ultran requires -T option). Refer to manufacturer documentation to confirm compatibility with your specific application.

This switch uses Hall Effect and Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) technology to detect piston position via the actuator's internal magnet — no physical contact required. It is a 3-wire sourcing (PNP) device rated for 4.5–30V DC operation and up to 150 mA load current. The "Q" suffix designates an integrated 3-pin M8 male quick-connect connector in place of a pigtail cable, with pin assignments conforming to the CENELEC EN 50044 wiring standard (Brown = Positive, Blue = Ground, Black = Output).

The switch includes built-in reverse polarity, overvoltage, and transient protection. It is rated IP67 for environmental sealing and carries CE compliance per engineering evaluation. Selection between sourcing (HC) and sinking (HK) models depends on the input requirements of the connected PLC or controller.

About ACME MRO Solutions

We started ACME MRO Solutions to fix something we kept running into as contractors — plants down, parts slow, surplus listings you couldn't trust. Our goal is simple: get YOU the right component fast, with an honest description, so you can get back to running.

We describe what we see. Used items show signs of use; if a part has visible wear, damage, or a missing component, the condition description will say so. We don't claim anything is tested unless we tested it — and we don't bench-test parts where testing isn't practical or revealing (feed-through modules, breakers, mechanical components). When we do test something, we'll say so explicitly.

If something is our fault, we don't work through it — we make it right. We are proud to serve American manufacturing. Your uptime is our bottom line.
