The MZT8’s housing is very short,
with the active sensor surface inte-
grated right into the tip of the hou-
sing. Thus, even in very compact,
short-stroke cylinders, the sensor is
always in the ideal position: at the
very start or at the very end position
of the piston. Therefore, stroke losses
no longer affect the switching point.
And the MZT8 hits it with absolute
precision, with its SICK ASIC-techno-
logy it sets standards in switching
accuracy and hysteresis.

With the captive clamping screw,
the MZT8 is easier to assemble than
many other sensors. Simply insert
into the T-slot with one hand from
above, position, turn the fixing screw
through a quarter turn using a screw-
driver or Allen key, and the sensor
is tightly clamped. This works in any
position, even upside down – really
simplifying commissioning.

The MZT8’s housing and electronics
are designed for arduous industrial
conditions, especially for extremely
harsh areas: the small sensor is
insensitive to abrasive cutting agents,
oils and other problematic sub-
stances, withstands vibrations and
shock loadings and even remains
unaffected by high-pressure cleaning.
With IP 69k protection, the MZT8
really is a sensor for all situations –
even the toughest ones.

With its outstanding switching proper-
ties, the MZT8 is ideal for a very wide
range of applications and can be
used not only in cylinders with T-slot.
Using adapters, it can also be easily
mounted on round body cylinders,
tie-rod cylinders and cylinders with
a dovetail slot.
