De-sta-co 810173 Solid State Pnp Sensor Power Clamp

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 810173 is a solid state proximity sensor designed for use with pneumatic power clamps equipped with the -MR option. It provides a PNP, normally open output signal and operates on DC current across a voltage range of 4.5 to 28 volts. Maximum current output is 0.1 amps (100 mA) with a maximum voltage drop of 0.5 volts. The sensor measures 0.93 inches long, 0.53 inches wide, and 0.87 inches high, making it a compact, direct-mount feedback component. A licensed automation or mechanical technician installs this sensor as part of a clamp-position feedback circuit.

This sensor is used in industrial clamping applications where a position confirmation signal is required. It is specifically intended for pneumatic power clamps configured with the -MR mounting option. Typical installations involve fixture tooling and workholding setups where the clamp open or closed state must be confirmed before the next process step. The 6.5-inch lead wire allows for short-run connections to a control panel or PLC input card without requiring extension cabling in most standard fixture configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automation technician or electrician familiar with low-voltage DC sensor wiring and PLC input circuits. De-energize the control circuit and lock out pneumatic supply pressure before mounting or replacing the sensor. Verify PLC input card polarity matches PNP sourcing output before connecting. Do not exceed the rated 0.1 amp output current or the 28-volt maximum supply voltage.
