NITRA cylinder position switches using state-of- the-art magnetic sensing technology, these switches are designed for use with cylinders that have a magnet incorporated in the cylinder piston.
NITRA cylinder switches are available in several styles with accessories to fit many different types of cylinders or actuators. The switches are designed for general purpose applications on most popular cylinder brands with sensor grooves, on round body cylinders using CPSB series mounting bands, or on tie rod cylinders using CPSA series adapters. Harsh duty applications can use the CPSF series switches with CPSS stainless steel mounting bands if needed.
- Solid state reliability, no moving parts for longer life
- PNP or NPN electronic switch output
- AMR sensing technology with small hysteresis for precise sensing
- GMR sensing technology for basic industrial applications
- Compact and easy to mount on round body, tie rod, and extruded body cylinders
- LED switch status indication
- Integral cable with M8 or M12 wiring connector or 2-meter wire leads
