Sick Magnetic Cylinder Sensor - Position Sensor Pneumatic Position Detector, IP67, 15 → 30V dc, MPS-T, with LED / 2128544

OverviewAt a glancePosition sensor for direct mounting in T-slots on pneumatic cylinders Sensor variants with measuring ranges of 32 mm to 256 mm Analog outputs (for current or voltage), switching output, and IO-Link Mounting on other cylinder types (e.g., round body cylinders) is possible with adaptersYour BenefitRapid mounting and exchange of sensors with drop-in Straightforward installation as no additional mechanical components or position elements are required Can be integrated into the machine at any time, as the sensor is attached to the cylinder externally Easy adjustment of sensor settings and parameters during operation using a teach field or IO-Link More flexibility compared to conventional cylinder sensors, as it is possible to define multiple switching points in the smallest of spaces Long service life thanks to non-contact measurement principle Advanced diagnostic options thanks to data transmission via IO-LinkMPS-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.ApplicationsThread quantity detection when sewing Airbags Material weakness detection for brake pedals Cylinder positioning in the color marking station Positioning of the pneumatic cylinder in the gripper Detection of dancer position Increasing machine performance with magnetic cylinder sensors Tactile double sheet monitoring Measuring the wood thickness to adjust the pressing unit Measuring the film tension Position monitoring of sonotrodes when welding plastics Screw gun guidance and monitoring screw-in depth Monitoring of a press-fit cylinder using the MPS-T Flexible positioning of cylinders Measuring the film tensionNoteProduct details cover the whole product family.
