Simple piston position measurement by recording absolute position values within a fixed measuring range of 50 mm
Quickly and easily mounted on the side or from above in T-slots without dismantling the cylinder end caps
Simple commissioning without time-consuming parameterization
Suitable for many applications: Thanks to its compact design, the sensor fits into all common T-slots worldwide regardless of cylinder profile or make
Quickly and securely fixed in grooves with just a quarter turn of the fixing screw
Actuator diagnosis function for predictive condition monitoring of pneumatic drives
Position sensors with optimal price-performance ratio for T-slot
The cost-effective MPS-M position sensor detects the piston position in pneumatic drives continuously and with micrometer precision without making contact. It is designed for cylinders with T-slots and can be mounted quickly, easily and securely. After installation, the MPS-M can be used directly for measurements – there is no need for parameterization or teach-in when recording the piston position. It continuously delivers exact position data via analog interface or IO-Link. Up to 8 switching points with different switching modes can also be configured using IO-Link. The actuator diagnosis function of the sensor uses performance data such as piston velocity, piston travel or number of piston strokes to make the processes in pneumatic drives visible.
