Sick presents the MZCG magnetic cylinder sensor designed for position detection in pneumatic grippers or miniature pneumatic cylinders with C-slots. The MZCG has a housing design of only 12,2 mm, fitting in a wide range of C-slots from the most common manufacturers, and a 90° rotated radial cable connection, making the device ideal for small drives.
The fixing concept makes mounting quick and easy, by simply inserting the sensor into the C-slot via drop-in and fastening on the cylinder in no time. The short switching point of the MZCG magnetic cylinder sensor, which has been optimized for gripper applications, enables faster cycle times and improves the efficiency of the processes. The special cable is able to withstand high torsional forces and a large number of rapid direction changes.
This is ideal for use in highly dynamic applications such as robotics, handling, mounting, and the electronics industry. The MZCG can also be used on robots and is equipped with a cable that is suitable for drag chain for this purpose.
