Pneumatic Cylinder Sensors

Engineered to deliver precise linear motion, our pneumatic cylinder sensors are perfectly suited for critical industrial applications such as clamping, positioning, and automation. These sensors also play a key role in detecting the linear position of a piston, especially in systems requiring accurate position feedback.

One of the most commonly used proximity sensors in this space is the magnetic reed sensor. These devices detect the magnetic field generated by a magnet embedded within the cylinder piston. Typically mounted externally on the piston housing, the sensor activates (on or off) when it approaches or moves away from the internal magnet.

Many of our cylinder sensors come equipped with convenient LED indicators for quick status checks, with options available in various sizes, port types, and even ATEX-certified models for use in hazardous environments.
