811-0745 RS PRO Magnet for Use with Linear Actuator

RS PRO Rectangular Proximity Reed Switches_x000D_ RS PRO range of rectangular magnetic proximity reed switches which provide a simple and cost-effective solution to position or limit sensing applications. Reed switches are often employed to carry out such functions as linear actuator switches, security system switches and door switches._x000D_ Options include:_x000D_ 811-0748 - Proximity Switch - Reed based changeover contacts_x000D_ 811-0736 - Proximity Switch - Normally Open Contacts_x000D_ 811-0745 - Rectangular Encapsulated Magnet_x000D_ Reed switches are a type of industrial switch and are used to interrupt or redirect the flow of electricity within a circuit. Reed switches are composed of two ferrous reeds in a small glass casing. The switches are magnetised and move when the magnetic field is moved towards the switch. A reed switch can turn on or off when a magnetic field is nearby._x000D_ RS PRO have a great range of industrial magnetic proximity switches and magnetic proximity sensors to suit many different applications._x000D_ Features and Benefits:_x000D_ Moulded switch case with 2 slotted fixing holes_x000D_ Robust sealed switch_x000D_ Typical Applications:_x000D_ Reed Proximity Switches and Proximity Sensors (also known as magnetic sensors) are popular due to their reliability and simple design._x000D_ Magnetic proximity switches are a type of electromagnetic switch which controls the flow of electricity within a circuit. Magnetic proximity switches can be used in the following applications:_x000D_ Position sensing_x000D_ Linear actuators_x000D_ Security switching_x000D_ Door Switch_x000D_ FAQs_x000D_ What is a magnetic proximity switch?_x000D_ Magnetic proximity switches are a type of electromagnetic switch which controls the flow of electricity within a circuit._x000D_ What is the difference between a proximity switch and a proximity sensor?_x000D_ A proximity sensor is a sensor which is able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact. Proximity switches open or close an electrical circuit when they make contact with or come within a certain distance of an object._x000D_ Why RS PRO?_x000D_ RS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice.
