The Canfield Connector Series 8WS reed and electronic magnet sensors are rugged yet compact switches used to sense position on pneumatic actuators equipped with a magnetic piston and 12mm dovetail groove. The switch can be slipped in and tightened from anywhere along the groove that is fabricated into the cylinder wall or clamping system. The switch features a die cast holder which clamps to the cylinder groove while the electronics are fully encapsulated and resistance to environment. These sensors offer a wide voltage range from 0-120 V AC/DC 50/60Hz and have a up to a 500 mA switching current rating. The switch has a high intensity indicator light which indicates power to the switch and load. The switch comes standard with 9 ft. PVC or 8mm quick connect male pigtail.
