SICK MZC1-2V2PS-KQ0 Cylinder Sensor

1. Precision Piston Positioning in Pneumatic Grippers
In automated production cells, pneumatic grippers depend on precise piston movement to hold and release items at the right moment. The SICK MZC1-2V2PS-KQ0 ensures accurate detection of piston end positions within compact C-slot cylinders. Its fast 1,000 Hz switching rate allows controllers to react instantly, keeping synchronization between multiple motion steps. The IP68-rated body and durable plastic housing protect the sensor from dust, moisture, and vibration, ensuring long-term reliability even in intensive assembly operations.

2. Reliable Stroke Detection in Packaging Machines
High-speed packaging systems require dependable stroke monitoring for sealing, cutting, and labeling functions. The MZC1-2V2PS-KQ0 provides stable signal detection even through cylinder walls, preventing false triggers that can disrupt the process. Its built-in LED simplifies setup and visual inspection, while the flexible PUR cable withstands oil exposure and continuous motion. The sensor’s high sensitivity and repeatable accuracy help maintain smooth operation and consistent packaging quality across multiple cycles.

3. Position Monitoring in Robotic Pick-and-Place Systems
Robotic automation demands precise position feedback to maintain speed and accuracy during repetitive cycles. The MZC1-2V2PS-KQ0 provides reliable magnetic sensing in pneumatic actuators used for gripping and placement. Its cable, designed for drag chain use, endures millions of bending motions without losing signal integrity. This allows robotic systems to perform continuous, high-frequency operations with minimal maintenance, improving productivity in component assembly, electronics handling, and logistics applications.

4. Actuator Feedback in Automotive Assembly Lines
In automotive manufacturing, pneumatic actuators perform tasks such as clamping, aligning, and pressing metal components. The MZC1-2V2PS-KQ0 ensures accurate position feedback even under vibration, temperature fluctuations, and heavy machine cycles. Its compact housing fits tight mechanical layouts, while built-in protections against electrical faults enhance system safety. This sensor helps maintain synchronization between pneumatic cylinders and automated controllers, reducing downtime and improving assembly precision in demanding production environments.
