Linear Cylinder Sensor for Grippers
CS-LG series
-
3 Output in 1 Sensor
-
Simple Setup
-
Easy Installation
The CS-LG is a single linear cylinder sensor that reliably distinguishes between the three critical positions of a gripper’s stroke: Opened, Gripped, and Closed. This sensor continuously monitors piston movement with an impressive 0.01 mm resolution. Installing the CS-LG is done from above, directly into the groove of the cylinder and is flush once secured. By using this one sensor instead of the conventional two, installation time, wiring, and the number of parts are all significantly reduced.

Features
Reliably Distinguishes 3 Positions Even Within a Gripper’s Short Stroke
The sensor continuously monitors piston movement inside the gripper with an impressive 0.01 mm resolution. Even within a short stroke, it reliably distinguishes between the three critical positions: Open, Gripped, and Closed. A single sensor allows the system to detect various gripping errors, including incorrect workpiece pickup.
Open 11.72 mm
Gripped 9.50 mm
Closed 6.95 mm
Reduced Wiring
The CS-LG provides an output for each cylinder position with only one cable. Reducing cables required by at least half, and cutting down on the overall installation, set-up time, and parts required.
Before
Multiple sensors (2-3) required
CS-LG
Can manage 3 outputs in one device
Top-Down Installation with Flush Mounting
Installing the CS-LG on the gripper is done from above. The small body of the sensor allows it to fit within the groove of the cylinder for a flush mount, even for tight spaces. The screw that locks the sensor into place uses a metal design; durable even when strongly tightened down.
Easy Set-Up with Amplifier
After installing, creating the output locations for the CS-LG is simple using the amplifier or the pneumatic software SP Navigator.
