Subsea Proximity Switch - M12 Thread
Robust stainless steel 316 housing engineered for subsea environments, delivering superior corrosion resistance and durability in high-pressure, saltwater applications. Built to withstand extreme depths and harsh conditions while maintaining structural integrity and reliable performance. Micro circular subsea rated connector provides reliable connectivity in demanding underwater environments. Features dry contact, volt-free contacts with SPDT changeover type configuration. Delivers two outputs—normally open and normally closed—enabling flexible switching logic. Rated to switch up to 1A, suitable for low-power control and signaling…
Fix the switch beside the mechanism and mount the specified target on the moving part. The target passes the sensing face at the position you need to detect.
Target enters the sensing range
The suitable target changes the configured contact state without physically pressing the switch. Confirm the target type, sensing gap and alignment against the exact product drawing.
Connect the position signal
Route the signal through this product’s specified cable and connector arrangement to the control input. Review the contact function, electrical load and pin allocation together.
Check travel and repeatability
Verify indication and reset throughout the installation tolerances. A proximity switch indicates a defined position; it does not measure the entire cylinder stroke.
For this product: Use the approved configuration for Subsea Proximity Switch - M12 Thread. Confirm mounting thread, target, sensing gap, body and connector materials, cable route and operating conditions.
This is a subsea switch configuration. Specify continuous immersion as an operating duty, including external pressure, duration, water temperature and media. The supplied assembly specification defines its limits, including the actuation interface and cable termination.
What should I specify for use in seawater?
Specify the water conditions and the materials of the housing, connector, mounting hardware and target or striker. Material selection is specific to the installation; a corrosion-resistant housing does not establish the suitability of every connected component.
What target does the switch detect?
Select the target and operating gap for this configuration. A proximity switch indicates a defined position; it does not measure the complete travel of an actuator. Use the product drawing to establish the target, approach direction and mounting clearance.
PRODUCT + APPLICATION ENGINEERING
Underwater position feedback, configured for your equipment.
Selecting a subsea proximity switch or submersible position sensor starts with the duty: valve position, actuator travel, gate position or tool engagement. Review the sensing target, mounting, switching load and operating conditions alongside the cable assembly.
