PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Parker's P8S Continuous Position Sensors continuously detect the position of the magnetic piston of pneumatic actuators using a direct, non-contact technology along the 32 to 256mm detection length of the sensor. For cylinders with common T-slot dimensions, sensors are mounted externally onto the cylinder within the profiled T-slot grooves without the need for additional accessories. Mounting on other cylinder types, ie round cylinders, is possible with optional adaptors. The sensor settings can be adjusted during installation or later during operation, using a teach pad or depending on the variant, using IO-Link. This continuous transfer of positional data via analog outputs or IO-Link upgrades the functionality of the pneumatic cylinders by making them more intelligent and as a result, more versatile and enables flexible machine concepts to solve tasks in areas such as quality monitoring and process control.
