Pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric cylinders are offered in a wide range of styles, sizes, and options for automated manufacturing, packaging, assembly applications and more. These cylinders range from Tom Thumb® Pneumatic Cylinders, known for durability and versatility, to robust compact cylinders when space requirements are a concern. PHD also offers the industry-standard Series CV ISO Pneumatic Cylinders designed for long travel lengths and long life, as well as the Series ECV Electric Cylinders with ball screws to meet various industry requirements.
Designed specifically to provide an input signal to various types of programmable controllers or logic systems. Since Hall Effect Switches are solid-state, there are no moving parts to wear out. They offer an infinite number of trouble-free operations. Series 5360 Hall Effect Switches operate on DC current only.
Designed specifically to provide an input signal to various types of programmable controllers or logic systems. These switches offer both 120 VAC or 10 to 30 VDC sink and source operation for maximum flexibility in interfacing with various electronic controls. Special current limiting feature is designed into each switch for protection against potential current inrush damage to switch components.
The PHD Series 5580 Switches have been replaced with kits that include a Series JC1 Switch and adaptor. The adaptor allows the JC1 switch to fit the existing 5580 switch mounting brackets and is a drop-in replacement. See the Series JC1 Switches pages for additional information.
Available for use with PHD ISO Cylinders and on other select PHD actuators which use the “M” magnet option. Since Solid State Switches have no moving parts to wear out, they offer an infinite number of trouble-free operations. Series 6250 Solid State Proximity Switches operate on DC current only.
Ideal for use as inputs for many types of sequencers and programmable controllers. Low profile integral clamp mounting is easy to adjust over the entire piston travel of the cylinder or actuator. Series 5360 Reed Proximity Switches are available in either AC or DC models.
Offers high reliability provided by solid state inductive sensing technology and are suitable for plant environments where dirt and contamination create difficulties for electromechanical and other types of switches.

Since Solid State Switches have no moving parts to wear out, they offer an infinite number of trouble-free operations. Series 5360 Solid State Proximity Switches operate on DC current only.
NFPA Brackets allow for the Series 1750 Reed and Hall Effect Switches to be mounted to 1-1/2" [38.1 mm] to 8" [203.2 mm] bore NFPA Cylinders.
The expanded line of JC1 Switches are available for use on most PHD products for simple interfacing to many types of electrical controllers. These fit into 4 mm switch slots and are offered in two sensing types, Solid State and Reed, providing the flexibility for your application and simple interfacing to system controllers.
