Taiyo Electronics AX115 DC5-30V AC5-120V Reed Switch

The Parker TAIYO (Taiyo Electronics) AX115 Reed Switch is a magnetic proximity switch intended for industrial cylinder position sensing. It provides non-contact detection of piston position on Parker TAIYO pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, enabling precise machine sequencing and motion control in automation systems. Typical applications include automated assembly systems, conveyor lines, packaging machinery, transfer systems, and material-handling equipment where dependable position feedback is essential. Electrical ratings include load voltage DC 5–30 V or AC 5–120 V, load current DC 5–40 mA or AC 5–20 mA, and a maximum switching capacity of DC 1.5 W / AC 2 VA. The switch ships with a 5 m (15 ft 6 in) cable, a 2-core oil-resistant cable rear exit, and an IP67 enclosure rating for protection against dust and water ingress in harsh factory environments. It is listed as compatible with Parker TAIYO pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, and common replacements for service retrofits include AX115CE, AX111CE, and AX125CE models.
