9K series – U groove switch

The Canfield 9K Series is a compact proximity switch designed specifically for mounting in a 4.2 mm wide U-groove of aluminum extrusion-style linear actuators. This groove is commonly found in cylinders from brands such as Mindman and Koganei. The slim design allows the switch to fit perfectly into the slot, without external mounting parts or complex installation.

The 9K series is available in reed or electronic versions. Each with LED indication. The reed variant operates up to 120 V AC/DC and features an internal voltage limitation while the electronic PNP and NPN models respond from 40 Gauss with minimal hysteresis. All switches are fully IP67 sealed and offer reliable operation in humid and dusty industrial environments.
