Magnetic field sensors

Magnetic field sensors are mainly used for selective or continuous monitoring of the piston position on cylinders and grippers. The sensor detects the field of the magnet integrated in the piston through the actuator wall.

With their non-contact position detection, the magnetic field sensors from Balluff are absolutely reliable and wear-free: no contact erosion, no bouncing and only clean measurement. The piston position is reliably detected even at high travel speeds.
