C-Slot Magnetic Cylinder Sensors utilize GMR technology.
Press Release Summary:
Sensors for C-slot pneumatic cylinders integrate giant magnetoresistive technology (GMR) technology, which provides immunity from long-term effects of magnetic fields. Polarity-independent, 3-wire, NO units, available in PNP or NPN, are rated for unlimited number of cycles and come in M8 snap-fit pigtail, 2 m cable, and threaded M8 pigtail models. Sensor bodies for these dc units measure 15 mm long and feature top-loading mounting.

ifm efector Expands Cylinder Sensor Product Line to Include C-Slot Cylinder Sensors
EXTON, PA - June 13, 2005 - ifm efector has expanded their line of magnetic cylinder sensors with Giant Magnetoresistive technology (GMR) to include sensors for C-slot pneumatic cylinders. The sensor bodies are 15mm long and feature top-loading mounting that eliminates the need to remove cylinder endcaps. During installation, the integrated friction tab prevents the sensors from sliding - even in vertical positioned cylinders, ifm efector also offers a line of T-slot sensors that fit a variety of cylinder types including dovetail, tie rod, integrated profile, and smooth.
Integrated GMR technology enables the sensors to provide excellent repeatability, fast response times, and immunity from the long-term effects of magnetic fields. The sensors are polarity independent and provide reliable piston-position detection regardless of magnet orientation. Designed for rugged industrial applications, the durable sensors have an unlimited number of cycles which reduces sensor replacement through the life of the cylinder.
C-slot magnetic cylinder sensors are DC units and available in a variety of models including standard M8 snap-fit pigtail, 2 meter cable and a threaded M8 pigtail which connects directly to multi-port blocks without requiring a patch cord. The sensors are 3-wire, normally-open available in PNP or NPN. List price ranges from $42.00 (U.S.) to $46.00 (U.S.).
