To Specify Magnet and Tracks
Simply add the appropriate letter designator(s) to the end of a basic Airpel part number.
M = Magnet attached to piston Example: Basic Model E16D1.5U becomes E16D1.5UM
T# = Magnet plus sensor track(s) attached to the cylinder at position T# as shown in the diagram below.
Example:
Basic Airpel model E16D1.5U with a magnet and one track at the 90 degree position (clockwise) becomes E16D1.5UT2 and with a second track attached to the cylinder at the 270 degree position the part number becomes E16D1.5UT2T4
