Pressure-resistant sensors for end position detection

Applications

The sensors have been specially developed for end position detection in hydraulic cylinders. They can be installed flush or quasi-flush using a thread and will precisely detect the steel target on the piston rod. With their high pressure rating and capability to detect ferromagnetic metals, these sensors are well-suited for a wide range of applications also in other hydraulic components, including valves or pumps.

Two types for a wide range of requirements

The standardised threaded type allows the sensor to be installed and adjusted flexibly on various hydraulic cylinders, enabling a single sensor to cover various cylinder types. The special M9H type comes with an end stop. This significantly simplifies installation when always the same cylinder type is used.

Added value with IO-Link

Sensor versions with IO-Link offer additional functions such as stroke or switching cycles counters or unique sensor identification, whereas time monitoring between end positions and temperature measurement enable demand-based maintenance.
