Two sensor elements integrated into asingle connector reduces wiring
Monitoring pneumatic cylinder positionIn pneumatic cylinder feedback applications, it is commonpractice to monitor the cylinder piston when it is extended orretracted. Typically this is achieved with a magnetic cylindersensor that detects the internal ring magnet.
ifm’s MK dual sensors reduce wiringWhen a large number of cylinder sensors are installed in closeproximity, wiring can be a challenge. The ifm dual cylinder sensor provides two sensors integrated into a single 4-pin M8connector or a 4-pin M12 connector. The dual sensor reduceswiring and lowers total install and material costs.
AMR technology provides high performanceifm’s line of MK Series cylinder sensors incorporate AMR technology that provides enhanced performance and extremedurability in industrial automation applications. AMR has significant advantages over reed switch tech nology: small hysteresis for precise sensing, an unlimited number of cycles,high repeatability, fast response times, and extremely stableoperating characteristics over a wide temperature range.
AMR technology coupled with ifm’s mechanically robust housingsresult in a highly responsive and durable sensor. ifm’s cylinder sensoreasily fits into slot style cylinders to provide low-profile mounting.
