Overview


At a glance


Position sensor for use on pneumatic cylinders
Sensor variants with measuring ranges of 107 mm to 1,007 mm
Analog outputs (for current or voltage), switching output, and IO-Link
Mounting 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 rod
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
Maximum reliability thanks to the rugged aluminum housing and non-contact measurement principle
Advanced 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 position
Monitoring the position of the product pusher
Monitoring of cylinder end position and press travel
Position monitoring of the sonotrodes using the MPA
Position and wear monitoring of the grinding heads
Automated removal from the workpiece carrier
Quality control using a laser line
Monitoring of the end positions of a press cylinder
