The Canfield Connector Series 8WF weld field immune electronic sensors are compact magnetic sensors designed for sensing position magnetic pistons on pneumatic actuators while ignoring electro-magnetic pulses generated from AC weld fields. Designed for round type cylinders with diameters from 9/16" - 4" and tie-rod type cylinders from 3/4" - 8" bore, the 8WF features a rugged stainless steel and nylon enclosure and high current capacity up to 0.2 Amps and 24VDC input. Included in the sensor is a high intensity indicator light that can be seen from a wide viewing angle. The sensor's small package can fit easily on the smallest cylinder without appearing too large. The Series 8WF design promotes ease of installation with a tight fit. Options include 9ft. PVC or 8mm quick connect male pigtail.

 General Technical Data

• Temperature Range: Operational from -20° to +80°C
• Sensitivity and orientation: 85 gauss parallel (standard minimum required for proper operation,
  as measured on sensor surface. Size of sensing area depends on size and strength of magnet
  and thickness of cylinder wall
• Most versions designed to meet NEMA 4/IP65 specifications
• Minimum magnetic field application time to activate output - 15m sec.
