The PHD 55823-1 is a solid-state Hall Effect switch that delivers precise position detection in automated pneumatic systems. Actuated by a target magnet with radial sensing orientation, this 6 mm square sensor integrates a quick-connect interface for rapid installation onto pneumatic cylinders and grippers. Its NPN (sink) output, LED status indicator, and IP67 environmental rating make it suitable for demanding industrial automation environments.
