Short or flush C-slot cylinder sensors

A real alternative to the Reed switch.

* Self-locking fixing for easy adjustment and quick mounting.
* Convenient: Can be easily inserted into the C-slot from above.
* Unit versions available with connection cable and M8 cable plug.
* Moulded cable ensuring very good strain relief.
* Suitable for the most common C-slots.


Flush or short
The cylinder sensor is suited for small parallel grippers and short-stroke cylinders with C-slot. Due to the height of only 5 mm it can be flush-mounted in the most common C-slots from above and is largely protected against damage. A 17.5 mm short version is available for miniature gripping systems. The sensor is inserted into the slot where it is held in position by a clamping mechanism. The moulded cable at the end of the cylinder sensor provides excellent strain relief.

Long life
Non-contact detection virtually work without wear and often achieve a longer life than Reed switches. This saves expensive repair and downtimes.
