De-sta-co 810169 Reed Sensor 50ma 5-120V Power Clamp

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 810169 is a reed-style position sensor designed for use with pneumatic power clamps. It detects clamp position by reading a magnetic field and signals the control circuit when the clamp has reached a defined open or closed state. The sensor operates across a wide voltage range of 5 to 120 volts AC and handles up to 50 milliamps (mA) of current, making it compatible with a broad range of low-voltage control systems. Maximum voltage drop is 3 volts. Overall length is 6.5 inches, with a wire lead of 6.5 inches. Installation is straightforward for any technician familiar with automated fixturing or pneumatic clamping systems.

This sensor is intended for use with pneumatic power clamp assemblies in industrial and manufacturing environments. Typical applications include welding fixtures, assembly jigs, and automated production lines where confirmed clamp position is required before a process cycle can begin. The reed sensor mounts directly to the clamp body and connects to the machine control circuit, providing a discrete signal that confirms clamped or unclamped status. It is suited for both new installations and replacement of worn or failed sensors on existing clamp hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial maintenance technician or automation specialist. De-energize and lock out the machine and pneumatic supply before removing or installing any sensor. Verify that control circuit voltage falls within the 5 to 120 volt operating range before connecting the sensor. Refer to the clamp manufacturer documentation and applicable machine safety standards for mounting position and wiring requirements.
