Parker 1459030000 Air Cylinder Reed Switch Srm

Product Description

The PARKER 1459030000 is a reed switch position sensor designed for use with air cylinders in pneumatic control systems. It detects piston position by sensing the magnetic field of the cylinder's internal piston magnet, generating a discrete signal to indicate end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position. The unit includes a 39-inch lead wire, providing sufficient cable length for routing to control panels or PLC input modules without extension. Pneumatic system technicians and industrial maintenance professionals install this type of sensor as part of automated machine or process control circuits.

This reed switch is intended for use with Parker SRM series air cylinders. It mounts externally to the cylinder body in the T-slot or sensor groove, eliminating the need to disassemble the cylinder for position feedback. Applications include factory automation, material handling equipment, and pneumatic actuator control in both light industrial and production-line environments where reliable piston position sensing is required.

Key Features

• 39-inch lead wire included for flexible routing to control enclosures
• Reed switch technology provides a simple discrete output signal on piston detection
• External mount design allows installation without cylinder disassembly
• Compact and lightweight at 0.08 pounds for easy integration in tight spaces
• Sold individually, one sensor per package

Compatibility

Designed for use with Parker SRM series air cylinders as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic or electrical technician. De-energize and exhaust all air pressure from the cylinder circuit before mounting or adjusting the sensor. Secure the switch in the cylinder's sensor slot and position it to align with the piston magnet at the desired stroke point before tightening. Wire connections should comply with applicable NEC requirements for the control voltage and environment involved.
