Product Description
- The SMC D-MP position sensor is used for continuous position monitoring on pneumatic cylinders, slide units and grippers.
- It is suitable for applications in automation, handling and assembly technology.
- Typical applications include position detection, position sensing, bore inspection and dimensional measurement.
- IO-Link compatibility enables integration into modern control and diagnostic systems.
- The sensor is used wherever precise position data is required for process monitoring and machine control.
- The SMC D-MP position sensor continuously monitors the position of the piston rod and provides analogue position readings.
- The sensor is equipped with an analogue output for current or voltage signals, as well as IO-Link communication.
- Switching points, measurement range and operating modes can be set individually.
- The repeatability is 0.1 mm, enabling precise position detection.
- The position sensor is available in several measurement ranges and with different connection options.
