Keeps both end positions in view - T-slot cylinder sensors with IO-Link
- Only 1 sensor for 2 end positions for short-stroke cylinders
- End position setting aid with second LED
- Inline quality monitoring with 50 mm detection range
- Monitoring critical pneumatic cylinders
- using the switching cycle counter
- Fast fault localisation thanks to extensive diagnostic functions
Versatile cylinder monitoring
This IO-Link sensor with two configurable hardware outputs will upgrade your machine in no time. The outputs can be configured to your application requirements. A high-resolution process value with a detection range of 50 mm enables continuous monitoring as well as digital transmission via IO-Link. Thanks to the teach function and the Bluetooth adapter, the installed sensor can be easily adjusted from outside the machine.
Integrated diagnostic-functions
Combined functions, such as the stroke counter (switching cycle counter), time monitoring between both end positions or device temperature provide servicing assistance and enable maintenance to be carried out as required.
One sensor instead of two: On short-stroke cylinders, one IO-Link cylinder sensor (upper groove) is now sufficient to detect both end positions instead of two conventional sensors (lower groove) as was previously the case.
In General
Cylinder sensors are used for position detection of pistons in pneumatic cylinders. They are directly mounted onto the cylinder. The ring magnet attached to the piston is sensed through the housing wall of non-magnetisable material (e.g. aluminium, brass or stainless steel). They can be fixed to almost any T-slot, C-slot, clean-line, tie rod, integrated profile or trapezoidal slot cylinder.
