The SICK RZC1-04ZRS-KP0 reed cylinder sensor is designed to deliver dependable switching performance without complex setup or calibration. Its reed-based detection principle provides consistent results over long operating periods, reducing unplanned downtime caused by signal drift or misalignment. The wide temperature tolerance and high resistance to shock and vibration allow it to operate reliably in harsh factory conditions, including high-speed handling and assembly equipment. An integrated status indicator simplifies installation and troubleshooting, helping technicians verify operation quickly. Overall, it enhances machine reliability, improves motion control accuracy, and supports efficient, stable pneumatic automation.
SICK RZC1-04ZRS-KP0 is chosen when machine builders need absolute confidence in pneumatic cylinder position feedback without adding complexity to the system. Its compact reed-based design delivers stable, repeatable switching even in high-cycle, vibration-heavy environments. The sensor’s wide voltage compatibility, rugged enclosure, and maintenance-free operation make it ideal for long-term industrial use. It integrates cleanly into standard C-slot cylinders, allowing faster machine assembly, easier retrofits, and consistent performance across multiple installations, all while keeping downtime and commissioning effort to a minimum.
The SICK RZC1-04ZRS-KP0 solves the common issue of unreliable cylinder end-position detection in pneumatic automation. In many machines, inconsistent sensor signals lead to misaligned movements, cycle interruptions, or false PLC inputs. This sensor provides clear, repeatable magnetic switching that remains stable despite temperature changes, mechanical shock, or electrical noise. By delivering dependable position feedback, it ensures precise motion sequencing, improves machine safety, and helps prevent costly production errors caused by missed or false cylinder position signals.

1. High-Speed Pick-and-Place in Assembly Automation
In modern assembly automation, pneumatic pick-and-place units must operate at high cycle speeds while maintaining precise timing. The SICK RZC1-04ZRS-KP0 supports these requirements by providing fast, repeatable piston position feedback even during rapid cylinder movement. Its reed-based switching delivers stable signals without oscillation, ensuring accurate grip and release sequences. The compact sensor body fits easily into densely packed actuator layouts, while the built-in LED assists with quick alignment during setup. This combination helps reduce cycle errors, improves repeatability, and maintains consistent throughput in high-volume production lines.
2. Position Verification in Packaging and Cartoning Machines
Packaging and cartoning equipment relies on pneumatic cylinders to control pushers, sealing jaws, and diverters. In these machines, unreliable position sensing can lead to product damage or unplanned stoppages. The SICK RZC1-04ZRS-KP0 provides dependable end-position detection under continuous operation, vibration, and varying ambient conditions. Its wide temperature tolerance allows stable performance near heated components, while the sealed housing protects against dust and moisture. By delivering consistent feedback to the control system, the sensor supports precise motion sequencing and helps maintain packaging quality across long production runs.
3. Accurate Cylinder Feedback in Conveyor Material Handling Systems
Material handling systems use pneumatic stoppers and diverters to control product flow on conveyors. These components must respond accurately to ensure correct routing and accumulation. The SICK RZC1-04ZRS-KP0 offers reliable detection that confirms each cylinder has reached its intended position before the next action occurs. Its magnetic sensing principle resists electrical interference from nearby drives and motors, ensuring clean control signals. The sensor’s mechanical robustness supports long-term use in environments with repeated impacts and load changes, improving system reliability and reducing maintenance intervention.
4. Auxiliary Pneumatic Functions in Robotic Production Cells
Robotic production cells often incorporate pneumatic cylinders for clamping, tool positioning, or safety-related functions. These applications expose sensors to vibration, acceleration, and frequent actuation. The SICK RZC1-04ZRS-KP0 delivers stable performance without the need for recalibration, making it suitable for continuous robotic operation. Its fast response ensures precise coordination with robot movements, while the durable construction withstands harsh industrial conditions. Consistent cylinder position feedback helps prevent motion conflicts, supports safe operation, and contributes to smoother, more predictable robotic processes.
