T-slot cylinder sensor with PNP output
The Sick MZT8-03VPS-KRO is a magnetic field sensor designed for T-slot pneumatic cylinders. It detects piston position in automation systems using a PNP switching output with normally open function. The sensor suits engineers and maintenance teams who need reliable end-of-stroke feedback on compatible cylinder types.
Mounts directly on T-slot profiles
The 24 mm housing fits standard T-slot grooves and works with profile, tie-rod, round-body, dovetail and SMC CDQ2 or ECDQ2 rails using appropriate adapters. A 0.5 m PUR cable with an M8 3-pin connector and knurled nuts provides a secure DC 3-wire connection. The axial cable outlet keeps routing tidy in confined machine spaces.
Consistent switching up to 1,000 Hz across –30 °C
The sensor operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC with 10 mA power consumption and a 2.2 V voltage drop. It delivers 200 mA continuous current with short-circuit, reverse-polarity and power-up pulse protection. Reproducibility is 0.1 mT and typical hysteresis exceeds 0.5 mT. IP68 rating and 30 g shock resistance support sustained operation in harsh industrial environments.
