AG-01 series pneumatic cylinder reed switch sensor

The new AG-01 pneumatic reed switch sensor series is suitable for AIRTAC 4.35*4.5 square grooves, which can replace the DS1-G of AIRTAC; the embedded stainless steel nut strengthens the structural strength, making the AG-01 reed switch in pneumatic cylinders series more suitable for organic solvents or strong corrosiveness.

How Does a Reed Switch Sensor for Cylinder Function?

A reed switch for pneumatic cylinder application works by detecting the presence or absence of a magnetic field. The pneumatic reed switch sensor is a kind of air cylinder position sensor that contains a glass-enclosed reed switch, which comprises two ferromagnetic contacts that are separated by an insulating gap. When a magnetic field is present, the reed switch closes, allowing a current to flow through it. For a magnetic cylinder sensor, a magnet is mounted on the cylinder piston, and when the piston moves, the magnet activates the reed switch sensor. This provides accurate position feedback, which can be used for precise control of the cylinder's operation.
