Magnetic Field Sensors for Pneumatic Cylinder Position Detection

Checking piston position on pneumatic cylinders is bread and butter work for magnetic field sensors, and Turck Banner Ltd supplies the lot. Cylinder sensors fit T-slot, C-slot and round body cylinders and pick up the piston magnet through the cylinder wall. Magnetic field sensors also offer long switching distances through non-ferrous materials such as stainless steel, aluminium and plastic, handy where a target sits behind a guard or housing. Rugged, compact and simple to fit, they suit grippers, slides, actuators and valve position feedback. Speak to Turck Banner Ltd on +44 (0) 1268 578888 to sort the right fit for your cylinders.
