Functional principle

Magnetic field sensors are activated by mag­netic fields and are used, in particular, for the
detection of the piston position in pneumatic
cylinders. As magnetic fields can permeate
non-magnetizable metals, they detect a per­manent magnet attached to the piston through
the aluminium cylinder wall.

Mounting instructions/Description Mounting instructions

The sensor is mounted in the groove from the side.

If the screw is turned clockwise, it moves out of the

thread and pushes the sensor upwards towards the

cylinder. This fixes the sensor in place. A quarter turn

of the screw with a slotted screwdriver is sufficient to

fasten the sensor so that it doesn't vibrate. A tightening

torque of 0.1 Nm is sufficient for safe mounting without

damaging the cylinder. A cable clip is included in the

scope of delivery. It enables smooth cable routing in the

groove and ensures that the cable is fastened as se-

curely as possible. The corresponding accessories for

mounting on other cylindrical housings must be ordered

separately.
