Military Performance combined with industrial-grade cost effectiveness equals high value to military equipment manufacturers. Inadequate components lead to costly program delays, and, worse yet, failed field trials. Band-aides might work, might not. Avoid risking a black eye by specifying high-value components from the right supplier with the military program experience to ensure success. (read more)

CPI's sealed switches were originally designed in the 1960's for military vehicle applications. These have been unique problem solvers from the start, as they are waterproof - truly submersible, not just splash proof. Today, economical configurations have expanded from standard commercial mechanisms to meet the most demanding applications on a wide variety of programs. (read more)

CPI's J4 Series ball switches were developed for some of the most demanding applications, where traditional sealed ball switches failed. They've applied the same patented ball carrier design to ultra high-performance plunger switches, which offer flexibility in mounting and actuator configuration. (read more)

With a unique, patented ball carrier design, CPI's J4 Series ball switches are like no other. High-temperature and high-pressure J4 Series plunger switches were developed for military and heavy-duty industrial applications. The harsh environment, coupled with the critical nature of this application has made CPI the leading supplier of air shut-off switches. (read more)

These maintained basic switches are available in two grades: military and industrial. The military switches are encased in neoprene and meet or exceed all applicable government specifications. Two position maintained circuits, SPST and SPDT are offered. The oval actuator platform allows for installation behind panels and provides a panel seal. (read more)

CPI's Waterproof system is developed around a basic snap action contact mechanism. Using our basic switch as the starting point, we have designed a full range of switching products for thousands of applications. Small, flat, and lightweight, CPI waterproof switches are designed to perform under severe environmental conditions, including total submersion. (read more)

Control Products' E1 Series sealed limit switches represent an economical approach to limit switch applications for use in harsh environments. There are countless mounting and actuator combinations available. Designed for military B2 and industrial B9 Series basic switches, brackets are all stainless steel construction. (read more)

CPI offers a standard E1 Series limit switch configuration specifically for dump body detect applications. Since all E1 Series limit switches are submersible and of rugged all stainless steel construction, manufacturers are assured of long reliable operation. (read more)

Component reliability is a must for manufacturers of emergency vehicles. CPI waterproof switches operate flawlessly under severe environmental conditions, and can be counted on for long-term performance in critical applications. And, at a time where cost optimization is a top priority, CPI's cost-effective solutions are increasingly attractive. (read more)

Control Products, Inc. was founded in 1946 with a line of thermal switches for aerospace and industrial applications. Developing expertise in precise calibration of these devices over a broad temperature range, the company's business expanded into many different industries, providing a diverse portfolio of expertise. (read more)

Originally developed for demanding industrial compressor applications, the AD179 carries a working pressure rating of 3,000 psi. Manufactured from 321 stainless steel, this variant of the SnapStat product line has a 3.5" probe and 1/2-14 NPT mounting thread. SPST and SPDT available, 0-350F calibration range. (read more)

These switches, are highly resistant to shock and vibration while maintaining exceptionally close repeatability. Since the entire probe is heat sensitive, it acts as an averaging device, thus compensating for temperature gradients. (0-1850F, fast response time) (read more)

CPl's SNAP-STAT thermal switches have a bimetal snap disc that actuates a miniature microswitch. This double snap action makes these switches virtually immune to shock and vibration. Epoxy sealing or glass-to-metal hermetic sealing makes them ideal for demanding industrial or military applications. (0-350F, wide differential) (read more)

These small, lightweight thermal switches are ruggedly constructed to maintain stability of calibration even under extreme shock, vibration and other severe environmental conditions. They can be used as temperature controllers, safety cutoffs for equipment protection and indicators of overheat conditions. (0-650F, close tolerance) (read more)

CPI's snap-action thermal switches are offered in many different mounting and probe configurations and are available with customer specified sub-freezing set points. (read more)

Today, the applications for automating hydraulic powered equipment are growing by leaps and bounds. As manufacturers strive to increase their competitive edge through Precision, Efficiency, Reliability, and Safety, they look to automation as the solution. CPI's new SL720 Sensor will play a key role in this new direction for heavy machinery. (read more)

CPI's SL720 Linear Position Sensor is the only sensor in the world which provides absolute position feedback in telescoping hydraulic cylinders. The sensor mounts completely inside the cylinder, and works for any stroke length up to 72". And, unlike rod-type sensors, there is no lower limit to the cylinder bore size for this product (for non-welded end cap designs). (read more)

The natural extension for CPI's SL Series linear position sensors has always been to increase the sensing range. Enter the SL180, which is capable of stroke lengths to 15 feet, utilizing the same SL Series non-contacting technology as the SL720. (read more)

CPI's SL Series linear position sensors can now be deployed in extremely harsh environments. Operating in temperatures up to 300F and pressures to 8,000 psi, these extreme sensors bring position sensing to applications where it was not previously possible. Comprised of a proprietary combination of engineered materials allows for operation in a diverse variety of fluids / environments, (read more)

Continuous linear sensing to provide feedback of accumulator charge state has never been easier. The SL Series sensor allows for very easy installation onto any piston accumulator, requiring only slight modifications to standard designs. (read more)
