Description Operation

MAGNASAFE is a complete range of non-contact magnetically operated switches for use in safety applications.

Constructed using special, heavy duty reed switches, encapsulated into ABS housings and protected with internal fuses, these switches can safely perform up to 1,000,000 operations at full load.

Non-contact switches are easy to fit and the 10+mm switching distance ensures tolerance to misalignment and gate wear.  They are ideal for wet, dusty, oily enviroments and in areas where hygiene is important.

When the switch and actuator are separated, the safety contacts are open and the auxiliary contacts are closed.

Moving the actuator to within the operating range of the switch (target to target), the safety contacts close and the auxiliary contacts open.

Dual safety contact versions of the MS1, MS3 and MS5 can be used with safety relays to provide a higher integrity safety system.
