REED & ELECTRONIC SENSORS FOR ROUND, TIE-ROD, OR EXTRUDED CYLINDERS

The Canfield Connector Series 8000 Reed and Electronic sensors are compact units designed for sensing applications on round cylinders from 9/16" - 4" and tie-rod pneumatic cylinders from 3/4" - 8" bore. These sensors offer a wide voltage range from 0-120 VAC/VDC 50/60 Hz and high current capacity up to 0.5 Amps. They include high intensity indicator lights and a wide viewing angle. The sensor's small package can fit easily on the smallest cylinder without appearing too large. The Series 8000's design promotes ease of installation with a tight fit. Options include 9ft. PVC or 8mm quick connect male pigtail.

  • Temperature Range: Operational from -20° to +80°C
  • Shock: Operational up to 30G (11 ms.) reeds only. Not applicable for electronic
  • Vibration: Operational up to 20G (10 - 55 Hz) reeds only. Not applicable for electronic
  • 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 6/IP67 specifications
  • Note: Not compatible with alcohol based fluids. Contact factory for suitable replacement
