Parker 145903000C Reed Switch 6 Inch Lead for Srm Cylinders

Product Description

The PARKER 145903000C is a reed switch accessory designed for use with Parker SRM series air cylinders. It provides a reliable magnetic position-sensing signal by detecting the piston magnet as it passes the switch's mounting position along the cylinder body. The switch ships with a 6-inch lead and connector pre-attached, allowing technicians to wire directly to a PLC, solenoid valve, or control circuit without additional termination work. At 0.05 pounds, it is a compact, drop-in sensing component suited for pneumatic automation and cylinder position feedback applications.

This reed switch is intended for industrial and commercial pneumatic systems where piston position detection is required. Typical installations include automated assembly lines, material handling equipment, and fluid power control circuits. The pre-wired 6-inch lead with connector simplifies replacement on existing SRM cylinder installations, minimizing downtime during service. It is installed by fluid power technicians, automation specialists, and maintenance electricians working on Parker SRM cylinder-equipped machinery.

Installation Notes

De-energize and exhaust all pneumatic pressure from the cylinder circuit before installing or replacing the reed switch. The switch mounts to the cylinder body's T-slot or band groove and should be positioned at the desired piston-travel detection point before securing the retaining hardware. Wiring connections must comply with applicable NEC requirements for the control voltage in use. Confirm switch polarity and output type against the connected control device before applying power.
