Be sure of efficient industrial operation by installing this IMI Norgren reed switch for cylinders and actuators. The NO (normally open) contacts close when the magnetic pistons move, this lets electricity flow and stops or starts motion to operate your equipment. An IP66 (ingress protection) rating means the unit is completely protected from dust and water jets so you can confidently use it with heavy-duty applications. Thanks to a simple plug-in connector, installation is quick and easy.

• Impact resistance prevents damage and saves repair and maintenance leading to unnecessary production downtimes
• Operating temperatures between -25°C and +80°C for use in tough indoor and outdoor conditions
• Plastic housing and cable sheath protects the wires and internal components against corrosives for durability

• Aeroplane doors and seats
• Dentistry chairs
• Automated conveyor belts

A reed switch is activated by magnetism. A permanent magnet – such as the magnetised piston rod in a cylinder or current passing through an electromagnetic coil – is the actuation force that either turns the switch on or off.
