Canfield Connector announces the release of its new 8A series reed and electronic sensors, engineered to deliver reliable cylinder sensing performance while improving durability and reducing overall cost for OEMs and system designers.
Built on the proven performance of Canfield Connector’s widely used 8000 series, the 8A series introduces a fully molded, encapsulated housing that enhances protection in demanding environments while maintaining consistent sensing results. This updated design provides a cost-effective solution without sacrificing the performance engineers rely on in pneumatic sensing applications.
The fully molded construction improves environmental protection and insulation, making it well-suited for washdown environments and applications exposed to moisture or contaminants. By eliminating potential ingress points and reinforcing the housing, the design supports long-term durability and consistent operation in real-world conditions.
The 8A series also features an improved mounting design that reduces physical stress on the sensor during installation. Integrated mounting elements help ensure a secure fit across a range of round and tie-rod cylinder applications while supporting long-term reliability.
“With the 8A series, we wanted to take the proven performance of our 8000 series and make it even more durable and cost-effective,” said Todd Harmon, Vice President of Canfield Industries. “The fully molded design gives customers a better solution for tough environments without adding complexity.”
