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 above.
Mount the sensors as follows using the patented wing
screw: The wing screw features a left-hand female
thread. Two small plastic lips keep the screw in posi-
tion, ready-to-install. Turn the screw clockwise. The
screw moves out of the thread and hits the upper
grooves with the wings. The sensor is thus pressed
down and locked. Use a 1.5 mm Allen key to fasten
the screw with a quarter turn. A fixing torque of 0.2 Nm
is sufficient for safe mounting without damaging the
cylinder. Cable clips are included in the scope of deliv-
ery. They enable smooth cable routing in the groove.
Mounting accessories for other cylinder sizes have to
be ordered separately.
