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.
