Magnetic, flexible, reliable MAGNETIC FIELD SENSORS

2 | Magnetic Field Sensors Magnetic Field Sensors | 3 Magnetic field sensors – magnetic, flexible, reliable Which sensor is ideal for your application? Reliable, wear-free position detection on all pneumatic cylinders Magnetic field sensors are used chiefly on cylinders and grippers for monitoring the piston position. The sensor detects the field of the magnet embedded in the piston through the actuator wall. Thanks to the non-contact position detection principle, electronic magnetic field sensors from Balluff work reliably and wear-free: no contact erosion, no bounce, no sticking and just one...
