New Hampshire-based ControlAir, Inc., a leading manufacturer of precision pneumatic and electro-pneumatic controls, recently announced that its Type-550X and Type-900X I/P, E/P Transducers now offer M12 locking connectors for factory automation – including valve automation – process control, and industrial instrumentation applications.
The Type-550X and Type-900X provide precise air pressure regulation to actuators, valves, positioners, cylinders, clutches, brakes and other final control elements. Industries that utilize the Type-550X and Type-900X include petrochemical, HVAC, energy management, textile, pulp & paper, paper converting, robotics, machine control, medical, semiconductor and food & drug.
ControlAir adopted the M12 standard (IEC61076-2-101) connector for its Transducers to ensure proper connection to industrial components and to protect the interconnection from foreign particulates, dust, water and hazardous substances. The M12 was also chosen for its ease of use and reliability.
