Cylinder switches & sensors
Cylinder
Cylinder switches and sensors detect end and intermediate positions of pneumatic cylinders without contact, using a magnetic field, and transmit an electrical signal to the controller. The range includes cylinder switches for NDM and NEM short-stroke cylinders (Airtec ZSG 12), as well as multi-core D-Sub connection cables in 15-, 25- and 44-pin versions for control cabinet and PLC connection, in lengths of 3, 5 and 10 m. This allows positions to be read directly at the cylinder and integrated into the higher-level machine control system.
| Article | Type | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| ZSG 12 | Cylinder switch | For NDM/NEM short-stroke cylinders |
| KAB DSUB15 | D-Sub cable 15-pin | 3, 5, 10 m |
| KAB DSUB25 | D-Sub cable 25-pin | 3, 5, 10 m |

Typical applications: End-position monitoring of pneumatic cylinders in assembly automation and handling technology, stroke feedback to PLC-controlled installations, multi-axis pneumatic modules using a centralised D-Sub wiring concept, and safety circuits that supervise the reaching of a defined cylinder position.
