T-slot cylinder sensors with IO-Link and two configurable hardware outputs are designed to keep both end positions in view.

The outputs can be configured to specific application requirements. A high-resolution process value with a detection range of 50 mm enables continuous monitoring as well as digital transmission by means of IO-Link. A teach function and Bluetooth adapter allows the installed sensor to be adjusted from outside the machine.

Combined functions, such as the stroke counter, time monitoring between both end positions or device temperature provide servicing assistance and enable maintenance to be carried out as required.

On short-stroke cylinders, one IO-Link cylinder sensor is now sufficient to detect both end positions instead of two conventional sensors as was previously the case.

Cylinder sensors are used for position detection of pistons in pneumatic cylinders. The units are directly mounted onto the cylinder. The ring magnet attached to the piston is sensed through the housing wall of non-magnetisable material, such as aluminium, brass or stainless steel. The sensors can be fixed to almost any T-slot, C-slot, clean-line, tie rod, integrated profile or trapezoidal slot cylinder.

Cylinder sensors are available from ifm South Africa.
