Position Sensor PNP M8 0.15m 5-30 V DC T-slot 5mm C-slot Mounting kit

This pneumatic cylinder sensor offers position feedback to control systems in automated machinery and equipment. This reed switch, also called a magnetic proximity sensory, can reliably determine the proximity of a pneumatic cylinder piston due to an internal magnet on the piston. When the piston moves and the internal magnet passes the sensor, the output will switch "ON" to signal to the control system the status (position) of the cylinder. Depending on where the sensor is mounted, it can detect extension, retraction, or individual positions along the cylinder body. This sensor requires 5 to 30 V DC. This sensor features a 3 wire PNP output design with an M8 connector for power wiring. An LED is available for troubleshooting and operation status indication. It is important to note that the maximum power input for this sensor is 6 VA and should never be exceeded to prevent sensor damage. To reduce mounting space, this sensor has a compact design with a length of 25.5 mm and height of 4.6 mm. For convenience, this sensor will mount inside a groove along the cylinder body and secured with the screw or using the included mounting band around the cylinder body. inside a groove along the cylinder body and secured with the screw. using the included mounting band around the cylinder body. This sensor has an IP67 rating, is suitable for a temperature range of -10 to 70 °C (14 and 158 °F).
