EMERSON 7CX GO Switch Cylinder Position Sensor

Stroke-to-GO™ Switch Models 7CX & 7DX
Cylinder Position Sensor
Stroke-To-GO™ Switches provide precise end-of-stroke position indica-tion on pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders. Designed to exceed auto-motive industry standards, the hous-ing is machined from stainless steel bar stock to handle operating pres-sures to 3,000 PSI while withstand-ing the extreme external conditions such as weld slag, coolants, cutting fluids, physical abuse and even high temperatures.
Stroke-to-GO™ Switches incorpo-rate the same 70 Series GO™ Switch mechanism that has been field proven in the most rigorous applications. This unique design offers the greatest benefits in cylin-der position indication.

Unique Features

  • Leakage current: None
  • Voltage Drop: None
  • Temperature Drift: None
  • Weld Field Immune: Tested and exceeded General Motors EHS-320 specifications. Testing Agency – Candid Logic.
  • Radio Frequency Interface (RFI): No affect at any frequency.
  • Benefits
    • 70 Series GO Switches are unaffected by weld fields and RF interference.
    • 70 Series GO Switches may be mounted adjacent to or surrounded by ferrous metals however the prox-imity of ferrous metals will affect sensing distance. For the maximum rated sensing distance, avoid mounting near ferrous metals.
    • GO Switches sense ferrous materials such as mild steel, 400 series and 17/4 stainless steel.
    • The sensing and differential of the switch may vary depending on the target travel direction.
    • Avoid contact between target and switch. Configure mounting of the switch and/or target so that target passes within the sensing area. Sensing range will vary according to the model number and mass of the target used.

Benefits Continued

  • For optimum performance, pro-vide sufficient mass of the target.
  • For heavy or inductive loads, arc suppression devices or interposing relays are recommended for con-tact longevity. Contact factory for specifics.

Attachment of Conduit or Cable

Attach conduit or cable correctly.

  • When using long runs of conduit or cable, place supports close to the switch to avoid pulling switch out of position.
  • If the switch is mounted on a moving part, be sure the flexible conduit is long enough to allow for movement and positioned to eliminate binding or pulling.
  • For installation in hazardous locations, check local electrical codes.
  •  All conduit-connected electrical devices, including GO Switches, must be sealed against water ingression through the conduit system. In figure 1, something common has occurred, the conduit system has filled with water. Over a period of time this may cause the switch to fail prematurely. In figure 2, the termination of the switch has been carefully filled with electronics grade RTV to prevent water ingression and to prevent premature switch failure. A drip loop with provision for water to escape has also been installed.

For hazardous locations install per Electrical Code. Dry contact devic-es, such as GO Switch, may be installed intrinsically safe with a matched barrier. When installed as explosion-proof, lead seal fittings required within 18″ of switch.

EU Declaration of Conformity
The products described herein, conform to the provisions of the following Union Directives, including the latest amendments:
Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU)
EMD Directive (2014/30/EU)
UNION Directive (2014/34/EU)

Figure 2. Correct
All GO Switches are “pure” con-tact switches, meaning they have no voltage drop when closed, nor do they have any leakage current when open. For multi- unit installation, switches may be wired in series or parallel, as shown below.
Series Wiring
Any number of GO Switches may be wired in series, without voltage drop. By contrast, solid-state switches have about two volts drop across the switch when operated. In a 12 volt solid state system with four switches in series, 8 volts is dropped across the switches. Only 4V is left to operate the load. When using GO Switches, 12V is still available to operate the load. (Except 7L – approx. 5V drop)

Parallel Wiring

When solid state switches are placed in parallel, there is about 100 microamps leakage through each switch. If ten solid state switches were wired in parallel, the total leakage current would be 1000 microamps or one milliamp – sufficient current to indicate an “ON” condition to a programmable logic controller (PLC). Any number of GO™ Switches may be wired in parallel, with no current leakage and without drawing operating current. (Except 7L – approx. 5V drop)

Application Considerations

  • The cylinder cushion must be ferrous.
  • The air gap between the switch sensing face and cushion should be .015″ to .040″ (outside this range please consult factory).
  • The largest diameter of a target (cushion) should cover at least 75% of probe sensing face.
  • The sensing face of Stroke-To-GO Switch must be at least .125″ from piston rod for proper switch reset. This may at times require an air gap distance greater than .040″.
  • For cushion diameters less than .50″, air gap should be .015″ to .025″.
