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.

T-slot cylinders

Cylinder sensors MZ2Q-T

  • 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.

  • 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

T-slot cylinders

Cylinder sensors MPS-T

  • 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
