SICK MZT8 Series Pneumatic Sensor, 2.9mm Diameter, IP68 - MZT8-03VPS-KP0


This pneumatic sensor is a Compact magnetic cylinder detector designed for T‑slot pneumatic actuators, providing contactless position sensing for industrial automation. It attaches to profile, tie‑rod, round‑body and dovetail groove cylinders and communicates via a three‑wire DC connection with an M8 plug. The unit is housed in polyamide 12 and includes an LED to indicate switching status.

Features & Benefits


• PNP switching at up to 30V enables direct PLC interfacing
• NO output function for standard normally open control circuits
• High switching frequency of 1000Hz supports Rapid cycle detection
• Wide ambient range −30°C to +80°C for elevated temperature environments
• IP68 enclosure rating for immersion and dust protection
• Short‑circuit and reverse‑polarity protection reduce wiring faults

**Applications**


• Suitable for detecting piston position in T‑slot profile cylinders
• Ideal for integration on SMC CDQ2 and ECDQ2 rails
• Used with round body and tie‑rod cylinders for end‑of‑stroke monitoring
• Can be used for Compact pneumatic actuators in assembly lines
• Suitable for drag‑chain cable routing in mobile machine parts

What cable and connector options are provided for installation?


The sensor comes with a 3‑pin cable terminated with an M8 connector and a PUR sheath rated for drag‑chain use, cable diameter 2.9mm and conductor cross‑section 0.14mm².

How does the sensor cope with mechanical stress and movement?


It withstands shock up to 30g and vibration at 10 to 55 Hz, offers torsion tolerance of ±270°/10cm, and endures over 2 million torsion cycles.

What electrical limits should be observed during operation?


Operate between 10V DC and 30V DC with a typical supply current of 10mA, maximum continuous current less than or equal to 200mA, and voltage drop less than or equal to 2.2V.

How precise and repeatable is the switching behaviour?


Typical response sensitivity is 2.6mT with hysteresis around 0.7mT, overrun distance typically 3mm and reproducibility better than 0.1mT.
