Determining the piston position with a rod
magnet
A small, axially polarized rod magnet can be used to
determine the travel path of the cylinder magnet and
therefore the ideal sensor position.
Determining the installation position
1. Apply the rod magnet to the side wall or the groove of
the cylinder so that the magnet is attracted.

Apply the magnet
2. Extend the cylinder rod completely.
⇒ The magnet will move with it.

3. Mark the position of the magnet (center of the magnet).

4. Retract the cylinder rod completely.
⇒ The magnet will move with it.
