One switch for different cylinder profiles

October 2005 Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays Conferences & Events Training & Education

IFM Electronic has introduced a range of accessories for its T-slot cylinder switch making the advantages of the new T-slot cylinder switch also available for all other common cylinder types. The same switch can now be inserted into clean line, tie rod, T-slot, integrated profile and trapezoidal slot cylinders using only one screw.

Due to the special design of the accessories the optimum utilisation of space is ensured. The resulting low height facilitates the integration of the switch into the application. The cylinder switch can be easily inserted into the adapter from the top and snaps into its flush position due to the innovative clamping mechanism. Due to its design, the adapter serves as a switch point memory at the same time.

In order to minimise complicated re-adjustment of the switch point and thus expensive maintenance and downtime, an accessory with a memory function is also provided for the T-slot cylinders. Robust in design, the cylinder switch is easily mounted and is vibration and shock resistant. It is suited for use in common industrial areas, in machine tool construction or in hygienic and wet areas in the food industry.
