Subsea Proximity Switch for General Industrial use Rated for 5,000 psi / 345 Bar / 3447 msw
This subsea Proximity Switch has a 316L Stainless Steel Cylindrical housing with SPCO / SPDT (Form C) , volt free Palladium-Silver contacts. It has a maximum switching current of 4A and can be used for switching multiple voltages in AC or DC. These switches are able to sense ferrous material, such as carbon steel or stainless steel (17/4 or 400 series), through the end face at up to 1.8mm|0.07" and are reliable through millions of operations. Optional magnetic targets can be used to further increase sensing range. Suitable for use in the design of safety functions up to SIL2 or SIL3. Using the latest production methods and materials this product meets global certification requirements and its robust design makes it suitable for use in arduous and hazardous environments.
