ZBI 2511 – Standard hydraulic cylinders (DIN 24333) – Nominal pressure 250 bar (25 MPa) Inductive sensing
Good to know: The STORZ ZBI 2511 hydraulic cylinder was developed as a supplement to the ZBD 2511 cylinder series. The hydraulic cylinders have integrated proximity switches to provide notification of the end position.
- For the electrical monitoring of the piston end position, number of strokes or stroke sequence without any complex designs for the mounting external limit switches
- Designed for a nominal pressure of 250 bar
- Available in 5 mounting types and 6 sealing variants for a wide range of applications
- Installation dimensions according to ISO 6022, DIN 24 333 and VW 39D921
- Compact, non-contact proximity switches, pressure-resistant up to 500 bar
- Electrical connection using plug connection
