SICK TMM22E-PKH060S55 Sensor
SICK TMM22E-PKH060S55 magnetic cylinder sensor, TMM22 family. Clamp-in T-slot position detection through the cylinder wall for pneumatic automation.
Overview
The SICK TMM22E-PKH060S55 is a magnetic cylinder sensor of the TMM22 family for T-slot and comparable profile cylinders. It detects the piston magnet through the cylinder wall and delivers a switching signal for piston position monitoring, supporting precise feedback on pneumatic actuation.
How It Works
The sensor senses the magnetic field of the piston magnet as it approaches the clamped position. The field passes through the non-magnetic cylinder profile and actuates the switching element. Detection is contactless, so switching cycles do not cause wear.
Key Features
- Magnetic position detection for profile cylinders
- Compact clamp-in housing for slot mounting
- Contactless switching through the cylinder wall
- Freely positionable along the cylinder slot
- Reliable detection with magnet-equipped pistons
- Rugged design for continuous automation duty
Typical Applications
- End-position monitoring on pneumatic cylinders
- Position feedback on clamping fixtures
- Mid-stroke signals on material feed actuators
- Verification of gripping and pressing motions
- Cycle monitoring on assembly automation

Installation and Setup Notes
Clamp the sensor into the cylinder slot at the desired switching position and verify the point with slow piston travel. Confirm the piston carries a magnet and the slot geometry matches the clamp. Secure the cable so it cannot be drawn into moving mechanisms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the switching position be changed later?
Yes, loosen the clamp and slide the sensor to a new position; the switching point follows the sensor location.
Does it require calibration?
No, the switching point is defined by the piston magnet position relative to the sensor.
Which cylinders fit?
Profile cylinders whose slot geometry is compatible with the TMM22 clamp design.
