MPS-200CLTU0, Sick Magnetic Cylinder Sensor - Position Sensor Pneumatic Position Detector, IP67, 12 → 30V dc, MPS-C, with LED

Overview

At a glance

Position sensor for direct mounting in C-slots on pneumatic cylinders and grippers
Sensor variants with measuring ranges of 25 mm to 200 mm
Analog outputs (for current or voltage), switching output, and IO-Link
Mounting on other cylinder types (e.g., round body cylinders) is possible with adapters

Your Benefit

Rapid mounting and exchange of sensors with drop-in
Straightforward installation as no additional mechanical components or position elements are required
Can be integrated into the machine at any time, as the sensor is attached to the cylinder externally
Easy adjustment of sensor settings and parameters during operation using a teach pad or IO-Link
More flexibility compared to conventional cylinder sensors, as it is possible to define multiple switching points in the smallest of spaces
Excellent reliability thanks to the rugged sensor design and non-contact measurement principle
Advanced diagnostic options thanks to data transmission via IO-Link

MPS-C position sensors continuously detect the piston position of pneumatic actuators using a direct, non-contact method. They can be mounted in C-slots without the need for additional accessories. The sensor settings can be adjusted during installation and during operation later on, using a teach field or 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

Positioning of grippers when installing a gearshift assembly
Monitoring of the part position when ultrasonic welding plastics
Height measurement of a component using the MPS-C
Double layer detection for printed circuit board
Flexible positioning of cylinders
Measuring the film tension
Detection of gripper position and material wear in roof tile manufacturing
