Magnetic Proximity Switches

Magnetic proximity switches are designed to identify selective switching marks on ferromagnetic steel. Non-magnetic materials have no impact on the functionality of proximity switches. These devices are recognised for their robustness, high switching frequencies, and excellent temperature stability, making them ideal for harsh industrial environments. 

Additionally, a magnetic proximity switch is enclosed in sturdy metal housing, which enhances its pressure resistance and allows for versatile applications across various industries. They generally consist of a reed switch, which is a tiny tube having two thin and flexible reeds. When magnetic fields get near the switch, the switch’s reeds are empowered, and they attract each other by closing the electrical circuit.
