March 12, 2009 - For automated equipment where piston position must be closely monitored, Baumer Ltd introduced a new line of magnetic T and C-slot cylinder sensors that provide discrete output regarding the end-of-stroke position of pistons in pneumatic cylinders. Compact and economical, these non-contact sensors offer precise, repeatable switching behavior with defined and tested activation sensitivity. The sensor’s rugged, IP67-rated plastic housing provides reliable operation in harsh and wet end-use environments. Five different, universally-applicable standard C and T-slot sensors are available for use in round cylinders and cylinders with tie-rods. Baumer Magnetic Cylinder Sensors are designed for quick and easy installation.
Available in both NPN and PNP outputs, these sensors feature cable or fly-lead connectors and a wide, 3-30 volt OC supply range. Baumer Magnetic Cylinder Sensors are used in robotic and automated equipment in a range of industries including industrial manufacturing, food and beverage processing, electronic manufacturing, injection molding, metalworking, packaging, print/graphics, and textile, wood and steel processing. The sensors can also be used in laboratory automation equipment and medical diagnostic devices such as CT scanners.
