Series 8200, 8300 with Sensing Option

For added safety and control, De-Sta-Co now makes it easy for users of this Models 8200 and 8300 pneumatic swing cylinders to determine exactly when these clamps are fully open and fully closed. To sense the clamp's open and closed positions, small, low voltage Hall Effect switches are installed in a grove machined into the side of the cylinder body. The switches are actuated by a magnetic piston ring as the cylinder's piston moves up and down. The open or closed conditions of the switches is then read by a programmable logic controller (PLC) or other electronic device.
