5 Product description

5.1 Brief description

The product is intended for non-contact detection of the piston stroke of pneu-
matic actuators with axially magnetized permanent magnets. The product pro-
vides an output signal proportional to the cylinder stroke.
Target applications:
• Analog position measuring for short-stroke applications in systems without
IO-Link
• Position measuring for short-stroke applications in systems with IO-Link
• Detection of 8 positions via 8 switching points with IO-Link
