Functional principle

Magnetic field sensors are activated by mag­netic fields and are especially suited for pis­ton position detection in pneumatic cylinders.
Based on the fact that magnetic fields can
permeate non-magnetizable metals, it is pos­sible to detect a permanent magnet attached
to the piston through the aluminium wall of the
cylinder.

Mounting instructions/Description Mounting instructions

Thanks to the mounting lip, the sensor can be insert-

ed into the groove from above with one hand. Mount

the sensors as follows using the patented wing screw:

The wing screw and the female thread feature a left-

hand thread. Two small plastic lips keep the screw in

position, 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 in position. A few degrees up to ap-

proximately 1.5 turns of the screw with a slotted screw-

driver (blade width 0.5 mm) or a 1.5 mm Allen key are

sufficient to ensure vibration-proof fastening, depend-

ing on the shape of the slot. A tightening torque of 0.4

Nm is sufficient for safe mounting without damaging the

cylinder. The sensor can now withstand an axial and ra-

dial tensile load of F=100N applied on the cable. A ca-

ble clip is included in the scope of delivery. It enables

smooth cable routing in the groove and ensures that

the cable is fastened as securely as possible. The cor-

responding accessories for mounting on other cylindri-

cal housings must be ordered separately.
