Cylinder switch easy to mount from the top.
 
 

 
A real alternative to the Reed switch: low-cost, reliable and long life.

  • Self-clamping fixture for easy adjustment and quick mounting.
  • Practical: Can be easily inserted into the T-slot from the top.
  • Suitable for the most common T-slots.
  • Unit variants available with connection cable and cable plug.
  • Ingress-resistant in all applications due to the high protection ratings IP 67 and IP 69 K.

    Quick adjustment and easy mounting
    The cylinder switch can be easily inserted into the T-slot from the top and immediately snaps in due to the innovative clamping mechanism. For easy switch positioning the switch can be moved in the slot until it is fixed definitely using the slotted / hexagonal socket scr ew.

    Robust design and good fixing
    Since the switch is completely surrounded by the slot there is no room for mechanical damage. The fixing at the end of the switch, rather than at its head reduces leverage and provides better protection against inadvertent tear-out or switch point change.

    Long life
    The purchase price of Reed switches is low, their disadvantage, however, is the short life of only about 2 million switching cycles, which are quickly achieved with handling machines. Non-contact sensors virtually work without wear and often achieve longer life. This saves expensive repair and downtimes.

    Different versions for your application
    The sensor is suited for the common T-slot cylinders no matter whether it is used in industrial applications, machine tools, and hygienic or wet areas. Tailor-made accessories enable mounting on different cylinder types such as trapezoidal slot, tie-rod, clean-line and integrated profile cylinders.
