Magnetic Cylinder Sensor, Magnetic Sensors For Cylinders, Magnetic Sensor Cylinder

Magnetic Cylinder Sensor

Sensors are used to provide position feedback to control systems in automated machinery and equipment. For the magnetic sensor application where position feedback is critical, cylinders use sensors to detect the linear position of the piston. The most common type of sensor used for cylinders is a magnetic proximity sensor, which detects the magnetic field of a magnet integrated in the cylinder piston. The magnetic sensors for cylinders are mounted on the cylinder block and will indicate "on" or "off" depending on the proximity to the magnet. Depending on the application, a variety of different magnetic sensors for cylinders technologies can be used to maximize performance, space, and reliability.

Two Types of Magnetic Sensor for Cylinders

AG Series Magnetic Cylinder Sensor

Wide range of applications, IP68 protection, adapt to a variety of harsh environments, sensitive response, accurate positioning, and improve the efficiency of equipment. Read More

DFG Series Magnetic Cylinder Sensor

It is suitable for most products such as AirTAC SMC, which can be closely fitted with the cylinder and is easy to install. Read More

AL Series Magnetic Cylinder Sensor

Process

Working Process of Magnetic Cylinder Sensor

The air source pushes the piston to the side of the cylinder.
When the piston inside the cylinder comes near the magnetic sensors for cylinders, they sense the magnetic field on the piston.
The magnetic cylinder reed switch sends a positioning signal to the PLC in the equipment.
PLC controls the reversing of the air source, and the piston moves to the other side of the cylinder to form reciprocating work.

Difference between Magnetic And Non Magnetic Pneumatic Cylinder

With a magnet, a magnetic switch can be configured to determine the position of the piston or do other linkage control. After the switch senses the cylinder piston, the microcomputer executes the next command.
