AirTAC CS1B1020 Induction Switch Sensor

AirTAC CS1B1020 Induction Switch Sensor is a reed-switch magnetic sensor from the CS1B family, purpose-built for cylinder-position sensing in pneumatic automation installations where a magnet on the piston provides the trigger. In practice, it detects the presence of a magnet mounted on a cylinder piston or actuator rod and, when the magnetic field is sufficient, creates a switch action that is used as a position feedback element in control systems. Electrical specifications commonly associated with CS1B1020, as listed by sellers, indicate an operating voltage range of 5 to 240 V AC/DC and a load current rating around 100 mA, with a 10 W rating appearing in some product notes. The device is intended for integration with AirTAC CS1B-series cylinders and similar magnet-equipped cylinders, enabling straightforward wiring to PLC inputs or other logic modules in manufacturing lines. The reed-switch-based design provides a compact, contact-based output that keeps mounting simple and maintenance minimal, making CS1B1020 a practical choice for compact cylinder-mounted position sensing.
