This line of ATAM’s proximity sensors - also known as proximity switches - is primarily used to detect the position of the magnetic piston element inside linear and rotary pneumatic cylinders.
ATAM’s standard proximity sensors feature a full range of circuitry in their housing, such as normally open and normally closed magnetic reed switches or PNP and NPN magnetoresistive sensors.
Both types of proximity switches are high-quality products with magnetoresistive sensors featuring the latest technologies such as superior noise immunity, high vibration resistance, and compact size and reed proximity switches being cost-effective and with high noise immunity.
ATAM’s proximity switches are widely used with cylinders featuring a 6,8mm inverted "T" groove extrusion. Once installed, this version allows the proximity sensors to be protected inside the cylinder groove. This type of "T" groove cylinder makes it possible to top-mount ATAM’s patented proximity switches directly into the cylinder groove. This makes assembly and disassembly of the proximity sensors and cylinder very easy.
