SICK Pneumatic Sensor, IP65, IP67 30V dc, MZT7 LED Indicator

SICK MZT7 Series Cylinder Sensor, 30V Voltage, Magnetic Measurement Principle - MZT7-03VPS-KWB

This cylinder sensor monitors piston position on pneumatic cylinders using a magnetic detection principle. It is designed for integration into T-slot cylinder arrangements and provides a Compact sensing option suitable for industrial automation and control systems. The device operates across a wide temperature range and includes an indicator to assist with installation and diagnostics.

Features and Benefits:

• PNP switching provides easy integration with PLC inputs
  Normally open output avoids false triggering when idle
  Operates up to 70°C for elevated-temperature applications
  Rated to IP65 and IP67 for protection against dust and temporary immersion
  Plastic Compact housing reduces weight while enabling simple mounting
  Conforms to EN 60947-5-2 and EN 60529 for recognised industrial use

Applications

• Suitable for position detection on pneumatic actuators in production lines
  Ideal for retrofitting into T-slot cylinder profiles in automation cells
  Used with control cabinets requiring 30V switching compatibility
  Can be used for end-of-stroke signalling in mechanical handling systems
  Used for proximity monitoring where Compact plastic housings are required

What electrical supply level does it require for operation?

It operates with a 30V supply compatible with common control and sensor circuits.

How does the device indicate switching status during setup?

An integrated LED provides visible status feedback to confirm switching events and simplify alignment.

Which mounting style is supported for straightforward installation?

It is constructed for T-slot integration, allowing direct placement within corresponding cylinder profiles.

What measurement principle ensures non-contact detection?

A magnetic cylindrical sensing method detects the cylinder magnet without mechanical contact.

How does the enclosure perform under harsh environmental conditions?

The housing meets IP65/IP67 ingress protection levels, offering resistance to dust and temporary immersion.
