T-slot cylinders

Cylinder sensors MZT7

  • Cylinder sensors with very good price-performance ratio for T-slot.
  • The SICK MZT7 cylinder sensor with GMR technology reliably detects the piston position in pneumatic drives.
  • The MZT7 can be mounted directly into all cylinders with standard T-slots. SICK also has an extensive range of adapters which enable the MZT7 to be used with other cylinder types.
  • The MZT7 is characterized by its simple mounting principle: Insert the sensor into the slot and rotate the fixing screw a quarter turn to fix it securely to the cylinder.

  • One sensor, two switching points: Reduces commissioning time and costs.
  • Maximum flexibility thanks to a detection zone up to 50 mm.
  • Easy adjustment of two switching points via teach-in pushbutton.
  • LEDs for indicating the two switching points.
  • Detection range up to 50 mm stroke.

  • Maximum flexibility thanks to a detection zone up to 50 mm.
  • Suitable for precise pneumatic applications due to intuitive and precise definition of two switching points.
  • LEDs for indicating the two switching points.
  • Detection range up to 50 mm stroke.

  • Can be used at temperatures up to 80 °C.
  • Very rugged housing with enclosure rating IP68 extends the service life of the sensor.
  • Low cabling requirements.
  • Two switching points - one connection.
  • Sensor variant for T-slot cylinder with two MZT8 sensor heads on one male connector.

Pneumatic cylinders

Cylinder sensors RZN

  • Reed contact cylinder sensors for IMI Norgren pneumatic cylinders and drives
  • The RZN reed contact cylinder sensor reliably detects the position of the magnetic piston in pneumatic cylinders and drives from IMI Norgren.
  • Due to its special design, the RZN cylinder sensor is particularly well-suited for mounting in the integrated switch slot of pneumatic cylinders and drives from IMI Norgren.
  • The RZN reed contact cylinder sensor is simply screwed into the switch slot and can be quickly and securely fastened to the pneumatic cylinder. The RZN sinks completely into the slot after mounting.

  • Can be used at temperatures up to 80 °C.
  • Very rugged housing with enclosure rating IP68 extends the service life of the sensor.
  • Low maintenance costs as the sensor is resistant to shock and vibration, meaning it does not slide about in the slot.
  • Sensors are inserted into the cylinder slot from above.
  • Combined fixing screw (hexagon socket screw and slotted screw).

  • Cylinder sensors for IMI Norgren pneumatic cylinders and drives
  • Space-saving mounting, as the MZN sinks completely into the switch slot
  • Special housing shape for the switch slot of pneumatic cylinders and actuators from IMI Norgren
  • The MZN cylinder sensor sinks completely into the switch slot
 

  • Short switching point optimized for gripper applications increases process efficiency due to higher PSDI times
  • Short housing (19.5 mm) for use in pneumatic grippers and miniature cylinders
  • LED for indicating the output state
  • IP67 enclosure rating
  • Sensor is fully recessed in the slot

  • Simple measurement of components with absolute position value
  • Micrometer-accurate detection of very small object tolerances
  • Fits in all standard C-slots used around the world or in T-slots in conjunction with an adapter, regardless of the gripper and cylinder profile
  • 8 switching points via IO-Link
  • Dynamic teach-in for up to 3 switching signals
 

  • Extremely small housing saves installation space, thereby increasing efficiency of the system
  • Reduced storage costs, flexible machine design and easier service
  • Yellow LED as optical adjustment indicator and output state display
  • Green LED acts as a status indicator
  • IO-Link and automation functions

  • 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.
