3C-D Z73L SMC Magnetic Switch – New In Stock
Precision Position Detection for Pneumatic Automation Systems
In modern pneumatic automation, accurate cylinder position feedback is critical for system stability and cycle efficiency. The SMC 3C-D Z73L magnetic switch is designed to provide reliable, non-contact position detection for air cylinders, ensuring consistent signal output even in high-frequency industrial environments.
Product Overview
The 3C-D Z73L is a compact reed-type magnetic switch developed by SMC for direct mounting on compatible pneumatic cylinders. It detects piston movement through an internal magnet and delivers fast, stable switching signals to PLCs, controllers, and I/O modules. Its slim profile and standardized wiring make it ideal for both new installations and replacement applications.
