High-Pressure Underwater Proximity Sensors Overview

The PSW23-20000-0 is constructed from high-grade SST 316 stainless steel, Inconel, and Titanium. These materials are selected specifically for their superior corrosion resistance and structural durability in aggressive subsea environments, ensuring long service life under high pressure and exposure to seawater.

The sensor provides both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) signal outputs via the MCBH8M connector. Pin 1 to Pin 2 delivers the Normally Open signal, while Pin 2 to Pin 3 delivers the Normally Closed signal, offering flexibility for integration into various subsea control and monitoring systems.

No, the PSW23-20000-0 operates as a passive device and does not require an external power supply for basic switching function. This simplifies integration into subsea systems and reduces potential points of failure, making it well-suited for unmanned, remote, or long-duration underwater operations.

Each PSW23-20000-0 unit comes supplied with a magnet and a 2-foot whip cable with a mating connector, enabling quick and straightforward installation. Product drawings in PDF format and STEP files are also available for download to assist with system integration and mechanical design planning.

The sensor is designed for subsea ROV trenchers, subsea drills, and underwater equipment requiring reliable position and signal detection. It is also applicable to offshore oil and gas subsea systems, deep-sea inspection platforms, and any underwater mechanism where precise, high-pressure-rated proximity sensing is critical.

The PSW23-20000-0 uses an MCBH8M connector, a standard subsea-grade wet-mateable connector widely used in underwater instrumentation. A mating connector is included with the 2-foot whip cable, making the sensor ready for integration with compatible subsea equipment directly out of the box.
