Cylinder sensors

Cylinder sensors

Cylinder sensors are sensors that detect the magnetic field of the piston magnet via a magnetic field or reed contact. They are used to provide binary feedback on the piston position for pneumatic drives. Proximity sensors are mounted in the required switching position in the cylinder slot and output a standardised 24 V switching signal when the magnetic field of the piston is detected.

Cylinder sensors from Festo: special solutions for special requirements

Festo cylinder sensors are tailor-made and optimised for Festo drives. They detect the magnetic field of permanent magnets installed on the cylinder piston and therefore indirectly indicate the position of the piston rod. The range includes cylinder sensors for standard applications and solutions for special applications.
