Overview
The Parker PWS-B1337 is a banjo socket sensor fitting engineered for pneumatic cylinder status monitoring in industrial automation. These plug-in threshold sensors provide feedback information on pneumatic cylinder status in pneumatic, electric, or electronic outputs and are mounted into the cylinder port to monitor back pressure of the cylinder’s exhaust. The sensor is easily plugged into the banjo fitting and locked in place with a spring clip, and the fitting is designed to accept other functional fittings such as flow controls or blocking valves.
Key Features
- Ideal for variable stroke applications such as robotics where limit switches are impractical, providing a signal whenever the cylinder stops motion.
- Spring-clip mounting for fast installation and tool-free sensor removal
- Compact and lightweight design for space-constrained installations
- Excellent vibration resistance and compact form factor.
- Compatible with multiple sensor output types: pneumatic, electric, and electronic
- Dual-assembly design: banjo fitting plus interchangeable plug-in sensor element
