SICK MZT7-03VPS-KP0 Sensor
SICK MZT7-03VPS-KP0 magnetic cylinder sensor, part 1070814. T-slot mounting for end-position and mid-position detection on pneumatic cylinders.
Overview
The SICK MZT7-03VPS-KP0 (part number 1070814) is a magnetic cylinder position sensor for T-slot profile cylinders. It clamps into the cylinder slot and detects the piston magnet through the aluminum profile, providing contactless end-position and mid-position signals for pneumatic automation.
How It Works
The piston magnet's field penetrates the cylinder wall and actuates the switching element inside the sensor. Because detection is magnetic and contactless, the sensor experiences no mechanical wear even at high switching frequencies.
Key Features
- Designed for T-slot profile cylinders
- Part number 1070814
- Flush slot mounting with secure clamping
- Contactless detection through the aluminum wall
- Freely positionable switching point along the slot
- Reliable switching with magnet-equipped pistons
Typical Applications
- End-position monitoring on T-slot pneumatic cylinders
- Mid-position signals on long-stroke actuators
- Position feedback on handling and clamping units
- Stroke verification in assembly automation
- Cycle monitoring on production machinery

Installation and Setup Notes
Insert the sensor into the T-slot, position it at the required piston location and tighten the clamp screw. Verify the switching point by slowly moving the piston and adjust the sensor position as needed. Route the cable so it cannot be crushed by adjacent machine parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is MZT7 different from MZT8?
They address different cylinder slot sizes; select the variant matching the cylinder profile geometry.
Does the sensor wear out?
Detection is contactless, so switching does not cause mechanical wear.
Can it detect mid-stroke positions?
Yes, clamp the sensor at any point along the slot for mid-position detection.
