Sick says the key to the sensors’ high-performance is a continuous analogue output signal for precision non-contact detection at all stroke positions with minimal blind zones. Simple to commission due to the sensors’ intelligent teach-in function, they are designed for easy and quick mounting on T-slot housings with a range of bracket options for standard cylinder types.

The rugged MPA and the compact MPS support a wide range of high-precision positioning, measurement and detection applications such as spot welding, drilling, screwing and polishing. They feature both a4 to 24mA and 0 and 10v for excellent positioning performance. 

With 25 sizes from 107mm to 1007mm, the SICK MPA analogue magnetic sensor is suitable for longer stroke cylinder applications. Its precision operation achieves a linearity of 0.5mm at 1.15m/s, an accuracy of 0.3% and reproducibility of 0.06%.  The MPA is ruggedly built with an IP67-rated aluminium enclosure, for long life and reliability under the toughest industrial conditions.
