Today’s pneumatic cylinders are compact, reliable, and cost-effective prime movers for automated equipment, but are often provided with unreliable reed or Hall Effect switches that fail well before the service life of the cylinder itself is expended. Too often, life with pneumatic cylinders involves continuous effort and cost to replace failed cylinder position switches. There has to be a better way!

Fortunately, there is. Balluff’s magnetic field cylinder sensors are based on non-contact, solid-state sensor technology that is compatible with both reed and Hall Effect magnetic pole orientations, making them the ideal replacement for standard magnetic switches. Electrically rugged, they feature short circuit protection, overload protection, and reverse polarity protection…all backed by Balluff’s exclusive Lifetime Warranty. With Balluff’s magnetic field sensors, you install and forget them.
