Keep an eye on your pneumatic drive's piston position using this proximity sensor from Festo. Its repetition accuracy of 0.1mm helps to ensure your automated positioning and clamping system is spot-on every time. The unit is a cinch to install, as it mounts directly onto your drive's cylinder slot. There's no chance of the device wearing out, as it uses the magnetic Hall measuring principle, which means it makes no contact with components. A PA-reinforced, high-alloy steel housing resists wear and corrosion, making this unit compatible with demanding and humid operating environments.
