Overview
AKUSENSE MR series magnetic cylinder sensors detect the piston position of pneumatic cylinders through magnetic sensing, providing reliable end-position and stroke detection for automated machinery. Available in T-Type, C-Type and U-Type designs to fit different cylinder grooves, the series covers N-pole / S-pole sensing versions (MR-C6 / MR-C8) and dual-pole N+S sensing versions (MR-C81 / MR-C86 / MR-C80 / MR-70). With ultra-fast response down to 5μs, IP67 enclosure rating, wide operating voltage and built-in circuit protection, they deliver stable, precise and durable performance in industrial automation applications. NPN output, normally-open operation and oil-resistant PUR cable options are available across the range.
