T-slot cylinders

Cylinder sensors MPS-M

  • Quickly and easily mounted on the side or from above in T-slots without dismantling the cylinder end caps
  • Simple commissioning without time-consuming parameterization
  • Repeatability: 0.05 mm
  • Analog interface: 0 V to 10 V
  • Housing length: 32.5 mm

  • Position sensors for T-slot
  • MPS-T position sensors continuously detect the piston position of pneumatic actuators using a direct, non-contact method. They can be mounted in T-slots without the need for additional accessories.
  • The sensor settings can be adjusted during installation and during operation later on, using a teach pad or – depending on the variant – using IO-Link.
  • The sensors continuously supply data via analog outputs or IO-Link, enabling flexible machine concepts and making it possible to solve tasks in areas such as quality monitoring and process control in conjunction with pneumatic cylinders and drives.
  • This continuous transfer of position data upgrades the functionality of the pneumatic cylinders by making them more intelligent – and, as a result, more versatile.

  • Position sensors for large pneumatic cylinders and drives
  • Easy adjustment of sensor settings and parameters during operation using a teach pad or IO-Link
  • Position sensor for use on pneumatic cylinders
