Cylinder Switches

The type of sensor that is best for a particular application depends on the operating parameters and cost-related issues. Canfield Connector is proud to offer the industry’s best value in Reed and Electronic Sensors. However, if our sensors are misapplied, they could fail prematurely.

Reed Switch Sensors:

If initial cost and versatility are most important, then reed switch sensors should be considered. For example the 7000 Series Type 04 reed switch will operate from 5 to 240 volts AC or DC. Generally, one switch can be stocked to cover a large majority of common applications. Please note, reed sensors do to work well with inrush surge currents and transients (common to inductive & capacitive loads; i.e. relays, coils & long wire runs). If inrush surge currents and transients must be accommodated, switch Types 21 – 29 may be specified.

Electronic Sensors:

In general, if longevity is a major concern, electronic sensors should be used whenever they fit within the operating parameters specified for a given application. They should receive special attention when high cycle rates are required. If electronic sensors are used within their operating range they will always outperform and out last mechanical reed sensors. The initial added cost associated with a electronic sensor will be outweighed should the application require high cycle rates.

Sensors

The Canfield Connector cylindrical threaded mount sensors are rugged and compact. Available in various sensing types, their sensors are great for sensing objects in industrial machinery and mobile equipment.
