Magnetic proximity sensors, which pick up the magnetic field of a magnet built into the cylinder piston, are the most popular form of sensor used with pneumatic cylinders.
The sensor, which is attached to the body of the pneumatic cylinder, will signal “ON” or “OFF” depending on how close it is to the magnet.
The position of the pistons in pneumatic cylinders is determined via cylinder sensors. They are fitted directly to the cylinder.
The piston’s ring magnet is detected via the housing wall’s non-magnetic substance (e.g. aluminium, brass or stainless steel).
The pneumatic cylinder’s piston ring contains permanent magnets, which the magnetic cylinder sensor can detect by penetrating the nonmagnetic cylinder wall.
The sensor’s output alters when the piston approaches it.The sensor’s built-in LED provides information about the switch’s status.
Cylinder sensors use a magnetic field or reed contact to identify the magnetic field of the piston magnet.
When the magnetic field of the piston is detected, they produce a standardised 24 V switching signal and are installed in the necessary switching position in the cylinder’s T-slot or C-slot.
In holding applications where larger magnetic fields are required, rod (cylinder) magnets are long, circular magnets with a diameter that is greater than their length.
The most common uses for cylinder magnets are in the medical, sensor, read switches, metres, and holding industries.
Neodymium Magnetization of cylinders is possible both along their length and across their diameter. Neodymium cylinder magnets have a longer-reaching magnetic field due to its form.
The Global Magnetic cylinder sensors market accounted for $XX Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Sensor for a magnetic cylinder. Detecting, measuring, positioning, and quality control are all essential functions of an industrial automation system.
The equipment involved are getting smaller and smaller while delivering previously unheard-of performance levels, such as the cutting-edge Procin cylinder sensors designed for quicker and more precise piston position detection in tiny pneumatic cylinders.
Pneumatic cylinders may now be used in many industries, opening up new opportunities for machinery and manufacturing facilities.
Additionally, they are able to accommodate all of your needs thanks to our enormous selection of magnetic cylinder sensors.
Easy handling, an analogue output option, optimal switching characteristics, suitable for usage in the food and beverage sector, and other aspects.
