Magnetic Field Sensors: Non-Contact Piston Position Monitoring
Magnetic Field Sensors (Dатчики магнітного поля) are a key component for automating processes that require precise and reliable position control in confined spaces. They are indispensable for detecting the piston's position inside pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders.
How It Works
The sensor is mounted on the outside of the cylinder and reacts to a permanent magnet built into the piston. Thanks to the non-contact operating principle, the sensor triggers as soon as the magnet (and thus the piston) reaches the set point. This ensures:
-
High Repeatability: Accurate detection of end or intermediate positions.
-
Non-Contact Principle: No wear, no mechanical impact, and a long service life.
-
Environmental Resistance: Reliable protection against dust, dirt, and moisture, as the sensor does not contact the cylinder's working medium.
-
Simple Mounting: Easy installation on the cylinder using mounting adapters.
Key Advantages and Applications
-
Position Control in Pneumatics/Hydraulics: The primary application is defining the piston's end position (open/closed) or precise positioning at intermediate points.
-
Cylinder Versatility: A wide range of models compatible with various cylinder types and profiles (T-slot, C-slot, round cylinders).
-
High Reliability: Resistance to mechanical vibrations, shocks, and external electromagnetic interference.
-
Broad Functionality: Sensors available with various output types (PNP/NPN), as well as advanced features such as detecting the magnetic field through a non-magnetic wall.
