Several new pneumatic cylinder sensors have been added to ifm electronics' MK51 series. These offer very precise detection over short travel distances, and eing very small themselves - only 25mm in length - they offer an added bonus for short cylinders. The fixing method also ensures that they remain reliably in position no matter how much movement there is in the cylinder, or strain on the cable.
Even weak magnets are not a problem for the AMR sensing cell incorporated into the fast-acting new MK51 cylinder sensors. And installation couldn’t be simpler: if the cylinder has a T-slot, the switch drops in, is slid into position and then tightened up. If there is no T-slot, a multitude of adapters isavailable from ifm electronic to ensure a good fit.
Electrically common options are catered for, with open and closed functions, positive or negative switching, and the connection can be made via 2m cables or shorter lengths with standard M8 or M12 connectors.
