Aeroquip T-J Division Offers New Series TP Proximity Switches

—Literature Available Aeroquip Corporation's T-J Division has come out with the new series TP proximity switches which provide fully adjustable position sensing and control of series TP NFPA interchangeable aluminum air cylinders.

Detailed information regarding series TP proximity switches is found in Aeroquip T-J Catalog 4100, which discusses four types of proximity switches: The .085 amp Magnetic Reed; the 3 amp Magnetic Reed; and the Hall Effect-Sink type and Hall Effect-Source type. This variety of switches provides automatic cycling and microprocessor control with a custom interface to fit a customer's particular logic system requirements.

These four types of proximity switches differ solely in their electronic sensing elements. All are based on their ability to detect a moving magnetic band located on the piston of an Aeroquip T-J series TP air cylinder.

The .085 amp Magnetic Reed switches are ideal to energize outboard LED indicator lights and to use as input for many types of sequencers and programmable controls.

The 3-amp Magnetic Reed is designed to meet the high power capacity required of industrial applications requiring AC input.

Aeroquip T-J offers two types of Hall Effect switches in order to match the input requirements of a customer's particular system. The sink type and the source type operate on 4.5 to 24 volts DC, and both are solid state devices with no moving parts. These switches are designed specifically to provide an input signal to programmable controllers, microprocessors and logic systems because they produce low voltage voltage output that can be wired directly into the inputs of these logic systems.

Each of these switches is mounted externally and is quickly adjustable with the protective mounting bracket.

To further facilitate these easy adjustments, each sensor contains an LED, or neon light, which indicates the piston's precise location.

This flexible position sensing system is finding widespread acceptance in applications where NFPA cylinder operations can be controlled electronically. Proximity switches and mounting brackets are optional accessories for Aeroquip T-J series TP air cylinders.
