The MZCG magnetic cylinder sensor detects the piston position in pneumatic grippers and pneumatic miniature cylinders. Thanks to its very small design, the MZCG is particularly well-suited for the C-slots of very small pneumatic actuators such as are used in handling and assembly, robotics or the electronics industry.
The sensor is simply inserted in the C-slot and can be quickly and safely fastened on the cylinder. The MZCG fits in a wide range of C-slots of various manufacturers due to its universal housing design. This reduces storage costs, enables flexible machine design and easier service.
At a glance

Fits in all commonly-used C-slots, e.g. from Schunk, Zimmer, Festo or SMC
Short, precise switching point, ideal for applications with small stroke
Cable suitable for drag chain
LED for indicating the output state
IP68 enclosure rating
Features
Extremely small housing saves installation space, thereby increasing efficiency of the system
Shorter switching point optimized for gripper applications increases process efficiency due to higher PSDI times
Suitable for a wide range of applications: It fits into all standard C-slots, regardless of the cylinder profile or make
Reduced storage costs, flexible machine design and easier service
Inserting the sensor into the slot is quick and easy
The rugged mounting holds the sensor in the required position, even when exposed to shock and vibration, and increases the reliability
