Explore the Schmersal BN650 Series Magnetic Reed switch, a robust position sensor designed for precision and durability. Encased in a thermoplastic housing with a smooth cylindrical form factor of 13 mm, this switch features a bias magnet and is engineered for front actuation. It operates with normally open (NO) contacts and offers an actuation distance range between 5 mm to 55 mm. This magnetic reed switch ensures reliable performance with a maximum switching voltage of 200 VAC or DC, a maximum switching current of 1 A, and a maximum switching capacity of 30 W. Built for demanding applications, it boasts an impressive mechanical life expectancy of over 1 million operations per hour. The device is equipped with reed contacts and allows for central mounting. Note that actuators are available but must be purchased separately. Engineered to withstand harsh conditions, it operates within a temperature range from -25 deg C to 70 deg C and maintains integrity in various environments with an IP67 rating. Ideal for engineers seeking long-lasting and precise position sensing solutions, the Schmersal BN650 Magnetic Reed switch is synonymous with reliability and efficiency in industrial settings.
