Optimum cylinder sensors for short-stroke cylinders.
 
 

 
Powerful and long life even for special cylinders.
  • Short travel distance for high-precision position detection.
  • Exact position detection thanks to a very small hysteresis of ≤ 1 mm.
  • Reliable detection of weak magnetic fields.
  • Convenient: easy fit 'drop from the top' into a slot.
  • Only 25 mm length sensor for many cylinder sizes.
AMR cell for the sensitive touch
The new cylinder sensors use an AMR sensing element. This operates to the magnetoresistive principle. The AMR cell has an extremely sensitive reaction to magnetic fields. So the sensors can be used wherever exact position detection and small hysteresis are important (e.g. short-stroke cylinders).

Robust design and good fixing
The sensor is immediately locked in the slot by its self-locking mechanism. The moulded cable and fixing point additionally provide incomparable strain relief.

Adapter for almost any cylinder profile
Thanks to the wide selection of adapter accessories the T-slot sensor can be fixed to almost every clean-line, tie rod, integrated profile or trapezoidal slot cylinder.

Applications
For T-slot cylinders used in an industrial environment, machine tools as well as hygienic and wet areas (food industry).
