SICK MZC1-4V3PS-KR0 1059753 Magnetic Cylinder Sensor PNP NO C‑Slot IP68

SICK MZC1-4V3PS-KR0 is a magnetic cylinder sensor for non‑contact piston position detection in pneumatic actuators. Engineered for C‑slot cylinders and linear slides, the sensor drops straight into the slot from above and fastens with a single quarter‑turn screw – no cylinder end cap removal required. Its GMR (Giant Magnetoresistive) technology uses a magnetoresistive measurement principle that precisely senses piston position without mechanical contact, ensuring long‑term reliability. Rated IP68, the sensor withstands dust, full immersion, and washdown environments across general factory automation, pick‑and‑place systems, assembly stations, and material handling lines.

Applications:

• Pneumatic cylinder end‑position detection in C‑slot actuators

• Gripper position monitoring in pick‑and‑place and assembly stations

• Clamping cylinder position feedback in workholding fixtures

• Test and assembly part positioning in automated production lines

System Integration:

• The sensor belongs to the SICK MZC1 series of magnetic cylinder sensors for C‑slot pneumatic actuators.

• Drop it directly into the cylinder C‑slot, snap into position, and tighten the combined fixing screw a quarter turn (use an Allen key or flat‑head screwdriver).

• The M8 3‑pin male connector mates with standard M8 female cables; the PUR cable supports drag chain use.

• For round rod, tie‑rod, and profile cylinders, SICK offers adapter kits for flexible mounting.
