MPA-107THTP0 Manufacturer Series, MPA-107THTP0 | Sick Magnetic Cylinder Sensor - Position Sensor Pneumatic Position Detector, IP65, 15 → 30V dc, MPA, with LED

Overview
At a glance
Position sensor for use on pneumatic cylindersSensor variants with measuring ranges of 107 mm to 1,007 mmAnalog outputs (for current or voltage), switching output, and IO-LinkMounting with adapters on a multitude of cylinder types (tie-rod cylinders, round body cylinders, profile cylinders)
Your Benefit
Straightforward installation as no position elements or additional mechanical components are required for coupling with the piston rodCan be integrated into the machine at any time, as the sensor is attached to the cylinder externallyEasy adjustment of sensor settings and parameters during operation using a teach pad or IO-LinkMore flexibility compared to conventional cylinder sensors, as it is possible to define multiple switching points in the smallest of spacesMaximum reliability thanks to the rugged aluminum housing and non-contact measurement principleAdvanced diagnostic options thanks to data transmission via IO-Link
MPA position sensors continuously detect the piston position of pneumatic actuators using a direct, non-contact method. The sensors in the MPA product family are ideal for large piston diameters and long strokes. The sensor settings can be adjusted during installation and during operation later on, using a teach field or – depending on the variant – using IO-Link. The sensors continuously supply data via analog outputs or IO-Link, enabling flexible machine concepts and making it possible to solve tasks in areas such as quality monitoring and process control in conjunction with pneumatic cylinders and drives. This continuous transfer of position data upgrades the functionality of the pneumatic cylinders by making them more intelligent – and, as a result, more versatile.
Applications
Detection of dancer positionMonitoring the position of the product pusherMonitoring of cylinder end position and press travelPosition monitoring of the sonotrodes using the MPAPosition and wear monitoring of the grinding headsAutomated removal from the workpiece carrierQuality control using a laser lineMonitoring of the end positions of a press cylinder
