Sterilizers/Autoclaves
Sterilization equipment demands components that perform reliably in extreme environments. Standex Detect delivers sealed, high-temperature reed switches, sensors, and relays that ensure safe, effective sterilization cycles.
Sterile by Design: Reed Switches, Sensors, and Relays That Withstand Heat, Pressure, and Steam
Built for the Heat: Solutions That Survive the Steam
Sterilization equipment such as autoclaves must operate with absolute reliability in high-pressure, high-temperature, and high-humidity environments. These systems are critical to maintaining hygiene and safety in medical, laboratory, and industrial settings. Components must withstand thermal cycling, moisture, and chemical exposure while delivering precise control and feedback. Standex Detect offers sealed, corrosion-resistant reed switches, sensors, and relays engineered for compact integration and long-term durability in sterilization systems.
The following are core technology applications that support safe and reliable operation in sterilizers and autoclaves:
Core Capabilities for Sterilizers/Autoclaves:
- Door lock and seal detection: Reed switches provide sealed, contactless sensing.
- Cycle status monitoring: Hall sensors track mechanical movement and valve positions.
- Power switching for heaters and pumps: Relays ensure safe, isolated operation.
- Signal isolation in control systems: Optocouplers protect sensitive electronics.
- Custom sensor assemblies: Designed for compact, high-humidity environments.
