Features
- Destaco cylinder position sensors have a tie-rod mounting style to detect the position of a pneumatic cylinder, count piston cycles or confirm cylinder operation in automated machinery.
- These units feature an LED for easy set-up.
- Destaco reed switch position sensors are equipped with magnetic poles of an axially aligned magnet that are next to each other in the axial plane.
- They are IP67 rated for protection from hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain, and feature an operating temperature range of -10 to 60 degrees Celsius [14 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit].
- Some models have a band clamp to allow easy mounting to cylinders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you have to use a sensor for a pneumatic cylinder?
We recommend using a pneumatic cylinder linear position sensor for detecting the linear position of the piston during operation. Pneumatic cylinders are typically made with a magnet already attached internally to the piston so that magnetic proximity sensors can be used. Pneumatic cylinders with position sensors allow enhanced security and feedback to ensure the piston location. These position sensors can detect extension, retraction or independent positions along the cylinder body, depending on where the unit is mounted. Multiple sensors can also be attached to one pneumatic cylinder for multiple position feedback locations.
How to choose the right position sensor?
- Environment: You need to know whether the sensor will be in an enclosed & clean environment or if it requires high protection housing. Temperature considerations should also be taken into account.
- Switching signal characteristics: Consider the switching power and current requirements of the control system. The selected sensor should be compatible.
- Magnet orientation: Reed switch and hall effect sensors require correct orientation of the applied magnetic field to ensure proper operation. Therefore, the sensor must be mounted in the proper orientation to the piston.
