Linear position sensor FM158 series

Hall effectmagneticwith SSI interface

Magnetic sensors series "FM" allow to detect the magnetic piston position inside pneumatic cylinders. The magnetic field generated in the cylinder is used to signal electrical circuits as required. It's possible to choice between the two types of switches currently available:- Reed switch (this electromechanical switch can work with both AC or DC circuits)- Hall effect switch (electronic switch suitable for DC circuits only)Magnetic sensors have a LED that signals the insertion as standard. NOTICE The magnetic sensor is a switch that has to be assembled in series with a load (inductive, resistive or capacitive). Use the shortest possible connection cable to reduce self-capacitance to a minimum. In borderline cases, measures should be taken to cancel the effect of cable capacitance using a repetition relay (4 W) in series. Avoid close proximity to external magnetic fields such as electric motors or large iron masses, as they could effect the switch. The sensors are able to detect a magnetic signal at speeds of the piston up to 1 m/s
