The MPS-032TSNU0 is a magnetic cylinder sensor from Autonics' MPS-T series — a compact, sealed sensor that detects piston position in pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders without physical contact. It's built for the kind of environment where coolant mist, washdown, and vibration are normal: the IP67 rating means the housing and cable entry keep out dust and survive a hose-down, so it belongs on a machine tool, a packaging line, or a food-grade conveyor where moisture is a given. Switching frequency of 1 kHz means it catches fast-moving cylinders — think pick-and-place actuators or high-cycle clamp stations — without missing a stroke. The 15 to 30 V operating range covers standard 24 VDC control circuits with headroom for line drop.
Fit and form factor
At 13.6 mm square and 45 mm long, this sensor fits into the standard T-slot or C-slot groove found on most ISO-profile cylinders. The 2 m cable gives enough reach to a junction box or valve manifold without a splice — useful when you're routing through cable track or conduit. Shock resistance of 30 g means it holds up on a press or a stamping machine where hard stops and cycle impacts are part of the job. Temperature range from -20 to 70 °C covers most factory-floor conditions, though you'd want to check derating if it's sitting right against a hot manifold or near a furnace.
