Innovative Sensor Solutions for Diverse Industrial Applications

MasterMac2000's magnetic and electronic sensors are designed to cater to the unique requirements of various industrial applications. From position sensing in pneumatic cylinders to monitoring pressure and flow in pneumatic systems, our sensors provide the critical data needed to optimise your operations.

Magnetic Sensors for Pneumatic Cylinders

sensors are ideal for detecting the position of pistons in pneumatic cylinders. Our Magnetic range of magnetic sensors include:

• Reed Switches: These simple, cost-effective sensors consist of a pair of ferromagnetic contacts that close when exposed to a magnetic field. They are commonly used for end-of-stroke detection in pneumatic cylinders.
• Hall Effect Sensors: These solid-state sensors produce an output voltage proportional to the strength of the magnetic field. They offer non-contact sensing, high precision, and excellent durability.This makes them suitable for a wide range of cylinder position sensing applications.
• Magnetoresistive Sensors: These sensors change their electrical resistance in the presence of a magnetic field. They provide high sensitivity, wide operating temperature ranges, and fast response times, making them ideal for detecting the position of magnets mounted on cylinder pistons.

Electronic Pressure Sensors

Electronic pressure sensors are essential for monitoring and controlling the pressure within pneumatic systems. MasterMac2000 offers a range of pressure sensors, including:

• Piezoresistive Sensors: These sensors use a diaphragm and piezoresistive elements to convert pressure into an electrical signal. They offer high accuracy, wide pressure ranges, and excellent long-term stability, making them suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
• Capacitive Sensors: These sensors consist of a diaphragm and capacitive elements that change capacitance in response to pressure. They provide high sensitivity, low power consumption, and good temperature stability, making them ideal for precision pressure monitoring.
• MEMS Sensors: Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) pressure sensors combine mechanical and electrical components on a miniature scale. They offer high accuracy, fast response times, and excellent shock and vibration resistance, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Flow Sensors

Flow sensors are used to measure the rate of air or other gases flowing through pneumatic systems. Our range of flow sensors includes:

• Thermal Mass Flow Sensors: These sensors measure the mass flow rate of gases using the principle of heat transfer. They offer high accuracy, wide flow ranges, and fast response times. This makes them suitable for precise flow control applications.
• Differential Pressure Flow Sensors: These sensors measure the pressure drop across a flow restriction, such as an orifice plate or Venturi tube, in order to determine the flow rate. They provide good accuracy, wide flow ranges, and are suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
• Vortex Flow Sensors: These sensors measure the frequency of vortices generated by the flow of gas past a bluff body. They offer good accuracy, wide flow ranges, and are resistant to contamination, making them suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Maximising Efficiency with Sensor Integration

Integrating MasterMac2000's magnetic and electronic sensors into your pneumatic systems can significantly enhance efficiency, safety, and performance. By providing real-time data on the status and performance of your pneumatic components, our sensors enable you to:

• Optimise System Performance: Accurate monitoring of cylinder position, pressure, and flow allows you to fine-tune your pneumatic system for optimal performance. By identifying inefficiencies and bottlenecks, you can make data-driven decisions to improve productivity and reduce waste.
• Enhance Safety: Sensors play a critical role in ensuring the safe operation of pneumatic systems. By detecting abnormal conditions, such as excessive pressure or unexpected cylinder movements, sensors can trigger safety interlocks or emergency shut-off procedures, protecting personnel and equipment from potential hazards.
• Reduce Maintenance and Downtime: The continuous monitoring of pneumatic components enables predictive maintenance strategies. By detecting wear, leaks, or performance degradation early, you can schedule maintenance proactively, reducing unplanned downtime and extending the life of your equipment.
• Enable Automation and Control: Sensors provide the feedback necessary for automated control of pneumatic systems. By integrating sensor data with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or other control systems, you can achieve precise, repeatable, and efficient operation of your pneumatic equipment.
