SICK Cable Pneumatic Sensor, IP67 30V dc, MZ2Q-C SENSORS FOR C-SLOT CYLINDERS LED Indicator

SICK MZ2Q-C SENSORS FOR C-SLOT CYLINDERS Series Pneumatic Sensor, IP67, 30V Voltage - MZ2Q-CSSPSKR0

This pneumatic sensor is a magnetic cylindrical device designed to detect piston position in C‑slot pneumatic cylinders. It operates as a cable‑connected sensing element with an LED status indicator and is intended for industrial automation contexts where piston position feedback is required. The sensor is constructed for integration into C‑slot cylinders and is suitable for environments requiring sealed electrical components.

Features and Benefits:

• IP67 rated enclosure protects electronics from dust and water ingress
  Operating range from -20°C to 75°C enables wide temperature use
  Two PNP switching outputs provide dual‑point detection capability
  Normally open output logic supports standard control schemes
  30V supply compatibility allows integration with common control voltages
  Plastic housing reduces weight while offering environmental resistance

Applications

• Suitable for position sensing in C‑slot pneumatic actuator systems
  Ideal for piston end‑stop detection in automation equipment
  Used with industrial control panels requiring PNP logic inputs
  Can be used for retrofit sensing on existing C‑slot cylinders

How is the sensor connected electrically within a control system?

It uses a fixed cable connection for wiring into control cupboards or junction blocks and provides two PNP outputs for direct Interface with PLC input modules.

What indicator aids on‑site diagnostics?

An integrated LED gives Visual confirmation of switching status to assist commissioning and troubleshooting.

Which standard relates to its switching behaviour?

The switching characteristics comply with EN 60947‑5‑2, defining proximity and position switch requirements.

What construction suits slot‑style cylinder integration?

The C‑slot form factor and cylindrical magnetic sensing principle permit mounting in slot channels of compatible pneumatic cylinders.
