SICK Pneumatic Sensor T-Slot Housing Polyamide 12 Plastic 30V dc IP68 PNP Output NO LED Indicator MZT8-03VPS-KRB

SICK MZT8-03VPS-KRB Pneumatic Sensor is a high-performance magnetic cylindrical sensor designed primarily for detecting piston positions in pneumatic actuators. Constructed with polyamide 12 plastic housing and featuring a T-slot design, this sensor offers an IP68 enclosure rating ensuring robust protection against water and dust ingress. It operates on a 30V DC supply with a PNP switching output and comes equipped with a LED indicator for easy visual confirmation of switching states.

The sensor fits standard cylinders, linear slides, and grippers with T-slots and can be adapted for use with round rod, tie-rod, and profile cylinders via adapters. Its very short housing makes it ideal for short stroke cylinders, while the combined fixing screw enables quick and secure mounting using an Allen key or flat-head screwdriver without the need to remove cylinder end caps.

Thanks to patented GMR technology and integrated SICK ASIC electronics, the sensor provides precise switching, suppressing multiple switch cycles and enhancing machine performance. The MZT8 series supports high temperature operation up to 100°C in select variants, ensuring longevity in demanding environments.

The sensor is suitable for applications in consumer goods, machine building, metalworking, handling and assembly technology, electronics and solar industries, and automotive manufacturing. Common uses include monitoring clamping cylinders, cylinder end positions, press travels, gripper states, presence and position of trays, tilting devices, and indexing stations.

Operates at 30V DC with PNP output and NO switching action. IP67, IP68, and IP69K rated enclosure ensures durability. High temperature variants withstand up to 100°C. Easy installation with combined hexagon socket and slotted screw.

Short housing fits short stroke cylinders. Shock and vibration resistant for low maintenance.

Overall, the SICK MZT8-03VPS-KRB sensor delivers reliable, precise pneumatic cylinder position sensing with rugged construction, versatile deployment, and long service life, making it a valuable component for industrial automation and control systems.
