2 Safety information
2.1 Intended use
The sensor from the MPS-G product family is an intelligent, magnetic position sensor. It
is used for non-contact detection of the piston stroke of pneumatic drives with axially
magnetized permanent magnets.
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of the product,
either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of the product that does not
conform to its intended purpose and is not described in this documentation.
2.2 Improper use
•The sensor does not constitute a safety-relevant device according to the EC
Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
•The sensor must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas.
•Any other use that is not described as intended use is prohibited.
•Any use of accessories not specifically approved by SICK AG is at your own risk.
•The sensor is not suitable for outdoor applications.

3.2 Product characteristics
3.2.1 Product features
The MPS-G position sensor with analog output is used for non-contact linear position
measurement mainly on pneumatic cylinders, grippers, and slides.
Target application
Analog position measurement for short stroke in systems without IO-Link.
Mechanical standard variants
The mechanical standard variants differ in the geometry of the sensor head, the length
of the connection cable between the head and control panel, the length of the connect‐
ing cable between the control panel and connection and in the connection.

3.3 Operating principle
3.3.1 Principle of operation
The MPS-G determines the position of an encoder magnet via a row of 2 sensor ele‐
ments located in the sensor head.
Axially and diametrically magnetized magnets can be detected since the two sensor ele‐
ments measure the field strength in both the X- and Y-direction.
