The pneumatic edge sensor uses compressed air and a rotary piston principle to measure distances within a range of +/- 50 mm. It operates between 2.5-3.5 bars of compressed air and has a dead zone of +/- 5 mm. The housing materials include bronze, nickel-plated brass, and stainless steel. It works by opening and closing air passages to cylinder chambers proportionally to the position of a sensor paddle using a rotary piston valve.

Edge sensor RPV Type is purely
Pneumatic, its operation is
based on rotary piston principle.
A rotary piston opens in the air
supply to the respective cylinder
chamber proportionally to the
position of the sensor paddle.
At the same time the venting
passage to the opposite cylinder
chamber is opened. The value is
completely closed when the mid-
way position. In this case air is
required for the positioning
movements only.
