The ASCO P494A0022500A00 is a Series 494 magneto-resistive (MR) PNP position detector for cylinders with T-profile grooves. It provides a normally open output on a 10-30 V DC supply and is sealed to IP67 and IP69K for demanding wash-down environments. Genuine ASCO detector, supplied in the UAE by General Tech Services LLC. Pricing is quote-based. Request a quote in under a minute - call +971 6 543 6933.

The ASCO P494A0022500A00 uses magneto-resistive sensing to detect the permanent magnet on a cylinder piston through the barrel wall without physical contact. The non-contact design has no mechanical switching contacts, making it suitable for high-cycle pneumatic machinery where contact wear can be a concern.

The detector provides a PNP, normally open output on a 10-30 V DC supply, making it suitable for standard sourcing PLC inputs. Electrical connection is through an integrated M8 3-pin screwable male connector with 3 wires.

With IP67 and IP69K protection, the detector is designed for applications exposed to high-pressure, high-temperature wash-down and temporary immersion. It is suitable for packaging, bottling, food processing and other industrial machinery requiring reliable cylinder position detection.

The Series 494 detector is designed for cylinders and actuators with T-profile grooves. Before ordering, confirm the cylinder groove profile, PLC or relay input type, supply voltage and electrical connection. Send the cylinder series and bore to General Tech Services LLC so compatibility can be confirmed before dispatch.

How to Install & Use It

  1. Confirm the cylinder groove type, supply voltage and output requirements against the controller before installation.

  2. Slide the detector into the cylinder's T-profile groove or use the appropriate mounting kit where required.

  3. Connect the M8 connector and wire the detector to the applicable PLC or relay input.

  4. Move the cylinder to the required end position and adjust the detector until the LED switches reliably.

  5. Lock the detector in position and verify reliable switching through the complete cylinder stroke.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ASCO P494A0022500A00?
It is a Series 494 magneto-resistive PNP position detector with a normally open output, 10-30 V DC supply range and IP67/IP69K protection.

How does the P494A0022500A00 detect the piston?
The detector senses the permanent magnet on the cylinder piston through the non-magnetic barrel without physical contact.

Will the P494A0022500A00 survive wash-down?
It has IP67 and IP69K protection. IP67 provides protection against temporary immersion, while IP69K is designed for high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning conditions.

Is the P494A0022500A00 compatible with my PLC?
It provides a PNP normally open output and operates on 10-30 V DC, which suits standard sourcing PLC inputs. Confirm the PLC input requirements before installation.

How many detectors does one cylinder need?
The number depends on the machine's control requirements. Two detectors are commonly used for retracted and extended positions, while some machines may use an additional detector for an intermediate position.

How do I choose the P494A0022500A00 or another Series 494 detector?
Choose the detector based on the cylinder groove profile, output type, supply voltage and electrical connection. Send your cylinder details and detector part number to General Tech Services LLC for compatibility confirmation.
