Zimmer Group MFS103S-02 Magnetic Field Sensor Kit

The Zimmer Group MFS103S-02 magnetic field sensor kit is a wear-free, non-contact magnetic field sensor that detects piston position in pneumatic cylinders by sensing the magnetic field from a piston magnet. It provides a switching output for control systems, enabling precise position feedback for automation feedback, system monitoring, and reliable sequencing in pneumatic systems. Typically cylinder-mounted, with slot or external mounting depending on the model, this sensor is used in pneumatic automation applications such as pick-and-place units, robotic handling systems, conveyors, and packaging machinery. Common replacements include the Zimmer MFS series variants (MFS02, MFS10 series), SMC D-M9 series magnetic cylinder sensors, and the Festo SMT-8M magnetic proximity sensor. Manufactured by Zimmer Group, the MFS103S-02 uses magnetic field detection to determine piston position with wear-free operation in industrial environments. This non-contact sensing approach minimizes mechanical wear on cylinders, reducing maintenance needs and downtime.
