Position feedback on pneumatic cylinders
Requirement
Pneumatic cylinders are used in many areas of the food industry.
Implementation
ifm cylinder sensors with the high protection rating IP 69K meet the high requirements and reliably detect the piston positions.
Customer benefits
The sensor is immediately locked in the slot by its self-locking mechanism. The new cylinder sensors use an AMR sensing element. This operates to the magnetoresistive principle. The AMR cell has an extremely sensitive reaction to magnetic fields. So the sensors can be used wherever exact position detection and small hysteresis are important, e.g. with short-stroke cylinders.
