Cylinder sensors detect the ring magnet and indicate the position of the cylinder stroke. Ifm offers cylinder sensors using the Giant Magneto-Resistance (GMR) principle and the Anisotropic Magneto-Resistance (AMR) principle. In pneumatic applications, cylinder sensors are usually used to monitor the position of the piston within the actuator. In electric axes, they also function as a reference or hardware limit of movement sensor to prevent crashes.
The most common type of sensor used for pneumatic cylinders are magnetic proximity sensors, which detect the magnetic field of a magnet integrated in the cylinder piston. The sensor is mounted onto the pneumatic cylinder’s body and will indicate “ON” or “OFF” based on proximity to the magnet. The mass air flow sensor (MAF) is used to measure the flow rate of air entering a fuel injected engine. The PCM uses air mass information to calculate and deliver the correct amount of fuel to the cylinders under all engine operating conditions.
