Sensors for Cylinders

Magnetic field sensors are primarily used for monitoring the piston position on pneumatic cylinders. The magnetic field of a magnet embedded in the piston is detected by the sensor through the cylinder housing wall. Thanks to their non-contact position sensing capability, these electronic magnetic field sensors are reliable, wear-free, and are finding ever wider use.
