Sick MZT8-03VPS-KRO T-slot cylinder sensor PNP

SKU CH-G8PT-Q8DKR

A T-slot cylinder sensor with PNP output, 10–30 V DC supply, 1,000 Hz switching frequency, IP68 enclosure and 0.5 m M8 cable

  • Reliable detection across seven cylinder types including T-slot and SMC rails
  • Fast 1,000 Hz switching frequency suits high-speed automation cycles
  • IP68 enclosure rating withstands harsh industrial environments
  • Compact 24 mm housing length fits tight machine spaces
  • Wide –30 °C to +80 °C operating range handles extreme temperatures

T-slot cylinder sensor with PNP output

The Sick MZT8-03VPS-KRO is a magnetic field sensor designed for T-slot pneumatic cylinders. It detects piston position in automation systems using a PNP switching output with normally open function. The sensor suits engineers and maintenance teams who need reliable end-of-stroke feedback on compatible cylinder types.

Mounts directly on T-slot profiles

The 24 mm housing fits standard T-slot grooves and works with profile, tie-rod, round-body, dovetail and SMC CDQ2 or ECDQ2 rails using appropriate adapters. A 0.5 m PUR cable with an M8 3-pin connector and knurled nuts provides a secure DC 3-wire connection. The axial cable outlet keeps routing tidy in confined machine spaces.

Consistent switching up to 1,000 Hz across –30 °C

The sensor operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC with 10 mA power consumption and a 2.2 V voltage drop. It delivers 200 mA continuous current with short-circuit, reverse-polarity and power-up pulse protection. Reproducibility is 0.1 mT and typical hysteresis exceeds 0.5 mT. IP68 rating and 30 g shock resistance support sustained operation in harsh industrial environments.
