GO™ Switch Stroke-to-GO™ Model 7C from TopWorx™

GO Switch Stroke-to-GO Model 7C from TopWorxThe Model 7C has a 1.025" probe and all the features and benefits of the Stroke-to-GO™ cylinder position sensor product line.

Stroke-To-GO™ cylinder proximity sensors provide precise end-of-stroke position indication on pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders. Designed to exceed automotive industry standards, the housing is machined from stainless steel bar stock to handle pressures to 3,000 PSI (206 bars) operating (tested to UL's 4X burst requirement) while withstanding the extreme external conditions such as weld slag, coolants, cutting fluids, physical abuse, and even high temperatures. Stroke-to-GO™ incorporates the same 70 Series GO™ Switch mechanism that has been proven in the field in the most rigorous applications. This unique design offers the greatest benefits in cylinder position end-of-stroke indication.

Q & A

GO™ Switch Stroke-to-GO™ Model 7C Q & A

+How does the Stroke-to-GO™ Model 7C Limit Switch function?
The Model 7C is a magnetically actuated proximity limit switch designed to detect linear motion or valve stroke position. As the actuator or valve stem moves, the switch senses the magnetic field change and triggers the output contact, providing precise position feedback.
+What does “Stroke-to-GO™” mean?

It refers to the switch’s ability to detect position anywhere along an adjustable stroke length rather than only at a fixed point. This allows users to:

  • Set custom actuation points
  • Monitor partial or full valve travel
  • Achieve flexible position sensing
+What are the key design features of the Model 7C?
  • Stainless steel enclosure
  • Hermetically sealed contacts
  • Non-contact sensing
  • High shock and vibration tolerance
  • Long service life vs mechanical switches
+What applications is the 7C commonly used in?
  • Linear control valves
  • Rising stem valves
  • Sulfur recovery units
  • Gate and globe valves
  • Damper monitoring
  • Hydraulic or pneumatic actuators
+What are the advantages over mechanical limit switches?
  • No physical contact → reduced wear
  • Higher reliability
  • Better sealing
  • Less maintenance
  • Longer lifespan
