Magnetic field sensors

Magnetic field sensors are used chiefly for punctual or continuous monitoring of the piston position on cylinders and grippers. The sensor thus recognizes the field of the magnet integrated into the piston through the actuator wall.

With their contactless position detection, Balluff's magnetic field sensors function reliably and wear free: No contact erosion, no bounce and only clean measurement. Even at high movement speeds, the piston position is reliably recognized.

Application examples

The wide range of applications for magnetic field sensors is demonstrated by a variety of application examples. They are used for position and end position monitoring, condition monitoring and quality and process monitoring - reliable, precise and wear-free in a wide range of industrial sectors.
