SICK cylinder sensors are the perfect fit for all standard pneumatic actuators with T-slot. They have been perfectly matched to the various slot tolerances. With a huge range of cylinder sensors to choose from, we can meet your every need. With drop-in mounting, a short, compact design with significant holding force, screw-and-washer assembly, safe detection of switching points, sensors with two adjustable switching points, and universal mounting options due to the use of adapters, there can be no doubt: SICK cylinder sensors are equipped for all installation locations and conditions.

SICK cylinder sensors are the perfect fit for all standard pneumatic actuators with C-slot. They are perfectly aligned to the different slot shapes. With a huge range of cylinder sensors to choose from, we can meet your every need. With drop-in mounting, a short, compact and rugged design with significant holding force, screw-and-washer assembly, safe detection of switching points as well as enclosure rating of up to IP 69K, there can be no doubt: SICK cylinder sensors are equipped for all installation locations and conditions.

Position sensors detect the piston position of pneumatic drives using a direct, non-contact method. They 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. The sensors are mounted externally on the cylinder, ensuring they are fast to install – even in existing plants.

An extensive range of mounting adapter accessories are available for cylinders without a slot. This means that with just a few product variants, the magnetic cylinder sensors from SICK are able to cover practically every common type of cylinder, such as round, tie-rod, and profile cylinders.

The cylinder sensors offer even more excellent features for optimum mounting. An visual adjustment indicator optimizes precision – and an additional power LED makes handling easier. An LED acts as a visual adjustment indicator and marks the optimum switching point. If the sensor is placed in that position, the LED lights up continuously during switching operations.

In many industries, pneumatic and hydraulic systems are also used in addition to the widespread servomotors. When it comes to drive systems, SICK is always right in the middle of things with its intelligent sensors. Fluid Power sensors from SICK perform measurement tasks in pneumatic and hydraulic systems – intelligently, flexibly and reliably.

Smart Sensors generate and receive data and information which goes beyond traditional switching signals or measured process parameters. They therefore enable substantial increases in efficiency, more flexibility, and better planning security for preventative system maintenance.

Cylinder sensors specially designed for pneumatic grippers and miniature cylinders with C-slots are used,

for example, in handling and assembly technology, robotics or the electronics industry.

These tiny devices show their true might anywhere space is limited.

Install, connect, start: The MPS-M miniature sensor detects the piston position in small cylinders continuously, directly and without making contact. The actuator diagnosis function provides important data for analyses via IO-Link. MPS-M stands for reliable measurement data with high economic efficiency.
