MZC1 magnetic cylinder sensor - SICK

The MZC1 magnetic cylinder sensor from SICK is the flexible solution for detecting the piston position in pneumatic actuators. The MZC1 can be mounted directly into all cylinders with standard C-slots.

Sick also has an extensive range of adapters which enable the MZC1 to be used with other cylinder types. The MZC1 is characterized by its simple mounting principle: Insert the sensor into the slot and rotate the fixing screw a quarter turn to fix it securely to the cylinder. Furthermore, the MZC1 is available in a range of variants up to an enclosure rating of IP69K. This ensures the sensor has a long service life and reduces maintenance costs.
