Parker P8S Analogue Continuous Position Sensor M8 4-20ma 256mm
Overview
Parker P8S sensors detect piston position on magnetic-piston cylinders (Parker P1A, P1P, P1F and others). The range includes electric reed sensors (NO / NC variants, 2-wire / 3-wire), electronic sensors, and analogue continuous-position sensors with M8 / M12 connectors. Mounting brackets are also available to retrofit sensors to tie-rod and ISO cylinders.
Applications:
- Cylinder end-of-stroke detection
- Continuous piston position feedback
- Sensor retrofit to existing cylinders
Features/Benefits:
- Reed, electronic and analogue (4–20 mA) options
- 2-wire / 3-wire variants
- Wide voltage range (e.g. 5–230 V AC/DC for reed)
- LED indicators on most variants
- Brackets for tie-rod cylinder retrofit
