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 (0.0004″) 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
3 Output Positions Regardless of Gripper Size
This sensor provides linear position sensing with an impressive 0.01mm (0.0004″) resolution, continuously monitoring piston movement with exceptional accuracy. Even within the gripper’s short stroke, the sensor reliably distinguishes between the three critical positions: Opened, Gripped, and Closed. With a single sensor, the system can detect a variety of mis-grip conditions, including missing, misplaced, or improperly handled workpieces, helping improve process reliability, reduce downtime, and enhance overall production quality.

Reduced Wiring
The CS-LG provides an output for each cylinder position with only one cable. This reduces the necessary cables by at least half, and cuts down on set-up time, parts required, and overall installation.
Before
Multiple sensors required (2 or 3 sensors)
CS-LG
3 positions monitored with one CS-LG
Top-Down Installation with Flush Mounting
Installing the CL-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. The screw that locks the sensor into place features a metal design; durable even when strongly tightened down.
Easy Set-Up with Amplifier
After installing, setting the output locations for the CS-LG is simple and done in one of two ways; either through the amplifier or the SP Navigator software.
