PHD MS062X6-E-V Pneumatic Linear Slide 155mm Magnetic Piston for Hall Switch

PHD MS062X6-E-V Pneumatic Linear Slide 155mm Magnetic Piston for Hall Switch

The PHD MS062X6-E-V is a dual-rod pneumatic linear slide made by PHD Inc. of Fort Wayne, Indiana. It uses a magnetic piston design that allows position sensing via Hall-effect or reed switches mounted externally along the body. The slide produces linear motion through air pressure applied alternately to each end port, driving the carriage table back and forth along two hardened guide rods.

Applications

PHD MS-series pneumatic linear slides are used in industrial automation and assembly machine applications where a compact, guided linear actuator is needed. The dual-rod design prevents carriage rotation and handles off-center and moment loads, making this type of slide well suited for pick-and-place systems, parts transfer, clamping mechanisms, and tooling positioning on assembly lines. The magnetic piston allows Hall-effect or reed-switch sensors to be positioned along the slide body to signal carriage position to a PLC or control system without contact — a common requirement in automated manufacturing cells. PHD Inc. has been a major US manufacturer of pneumatic actuators and automation components since the mid-20th century, and the MS-series slides are found throughout automotive, electronics, and general industrial assembly equipment.
