Airtac CS1-EC08 2 Way Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

The Airtac CS1-EC08 is a magnetic reed sensor used as a cylinder position switch within Airtac's CS1 family, delivering reliable position feedback for pneumatic cylinders in automated lines. As an E-type reed switch, it detects the presence of a magnet on the piston to close a circuit without contact, enabling long life in repetitive cycle environments. The unit typically features a 150 mm lead length and an M8 plug connector for straightforward integration with control wiring, aligning with common Airtac CS1-compatible cabling. Designed for use in packaging, manufacturing, and material-handling applications, it signals piston position to a PLC or sensor input to enable precise sequencing, interlocks, and safer machine operation. Note that this component functions as a sensor rather than a valve and does not regulate air flow; its role is to provide feedback about the cylinder's position to the control system.
