T-slot cylinder sensor
The SICK MZT1-03VPS-KQ0 is a PNP magnetic sensor designed for T-slot pneumatic cylinders. It mounts directly into the cylinder slot and detects piston position through the housing wall. The sensor operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and provides a normally open switching output. Its IP68 enclosure rating suits harsh industrial environments.
Automation engineers and maintenance teams
This sensor suits engineers integrating position feedback into pneumatic systems using T-slot, profile, tie-rod, round-body or dovetail cylinders with adapters. The 1,000 Hz switching frequency supports fast cycle rates. Buyers needing NPN logic or a different output function should look at other models. The fixed 0.3 m cable with M12 connector limits placement flexibility.
PNP switching output
The sensor delivers a PNP normally open signal with a 200 mA continuous current rating and 2.2 V voltage drop. Response sensitivity is 2.6 mT typical with 0.1 mT reproducibility. Operating temperature spans –30 °C to +80 °C. Housing material is PA12 plastic with a PUR cable. EMC compliance follows EN 60947-5-2.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the sensor is operating correctly after wiring it to a 10 V DC ... 30 V DC supply?
The yellow LED on the housing lights when the magnetic field exceeds the 2.6 mT response sensitivity and the PNP output switches within the 1,000 Hz switching frequency.
What comes in the box and what extra items are needed for installation?
The box contains one sensor with a 0.3 m PUR cable and an M12 3-pin connector; you must supply a matching M12 cable or distribution box and a 10 V DC ... 30 V DC power source.
Which switching output type should I select for a PLC that requires a sourcing signal?
Choose the PNP version listed as MZT1-03VPS-KQ0 because its output function is NO and it delivers a positive-going signal compatible with sourcing PLC inputs.
