Description

The SICK MPS-256TSTU0 is a magnetostrictive linear position sensor engineered for precise, continuous feedback of piston rod position in pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders. Its contactless sensing technology translates the position of an internal magnetic ring into a proportional analog voltage or current signal, providing accurate real-time data for closed-loop control systems.

Housed in a robust, anodized aluminum extrusion with an IP67 ingress protection rating, the sensor is built to withstand dust, moisture, and vibration common in factory automation, packaging machinery, and material handling applications. The integrated 2-meter cable with a 4-pin M8 connector ensures a secure, sealed electrical connection, simplifying field wiring and maintenance.

Key Features

  • High-Precision Analog Output: Delivers a linear 0-10V or 4-20mA signal proportional to the 0-256mm piston stroke for accurate PLC and controller integration.
  • Industrial-Grade Durability: Features an IP67-sealed, anodized aluminum housing resistant to oils, coolants, and mechanical shock.
  • T-Slot Mounting Design: Engineered for direct, tool-free installation onto standard T-profile pneumatic cylinders, reducing assembly time.
  • Contactless Magnetic Sensing: Utilizes a non-contact magnetostrictive principle for wear-free, maintenance-free operation and high repeatability.
  • Wide Operating Voltage: Supports a 15-30VDC supply range, compatible with common 24VDC industrial control panels.
  • Integrated Connector: Comes with a factory-attached, 2-meter PUR cable terminated with a 4-pin M8 connector for reliable connectivity.

Applications

  • Precision position feedback for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders in automation cells.
  • Stroke control and end-position verification in packaging and palletizing machinery.
  • Process control in industrial presses, die-casting machines, and injection molding equipment.
  • Position monitoring for material handling systems, grippers, and linear actuators.
  • Integration into PLC-based control systems for real-time motion profiling and safety interlocks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the MPS-256TSTU0 sensor?

The sensor provides a standard industrial analog output, configurable as either a 0-10V voltage signal or a 4-20mA current loop, proportional to the 0-256mm piston stroke. This allows direct connection to PLC analog input modules or process controllers for precise position monitoring.

How is this sensor mounted onto a cylinder?

It is designed for direct T-slot mounting on standard T-profile pneumatic cylinders. The sensor housing slides into the cylinder's T-slot channel and is typically secured with set screws, providing a rigid, aligned installation without the need for additional brackets or adapters.

What is the operating voltage range and cable connection?

The sensor operates from a 15-30VDC power supply, making it compatible with standard 24VDC industrial control systems. It comes with a factory-integrated, 2-meter long polyurethane (PUR) cable terminated with a 4-pin M8 connector, ensuring a sealed and reliable connection.

Is the MPS-256TSTU0 suitable for wet or dusty environments?

Yes, with its IP67 (Ingress Protection) rating, the sensor is completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for washdown areas and harsh industrial environments.
