Reed sensors for position monitoring

adapted for your application,
energy-saving, reliable and durable.

Reedsensoren Übersciht

Reed sensors (position sensors or proximity switches) switch contactlessly when a magnetic field approaches. Here, the actuation is carried out by an external permanent magnet.

The sensors are made of different materials, in many sizes and shapes. We assemble the electrical connection cables according to your specifications.

Fields of application: Position monitoring in machines and devices, use as door or window contact switch.

Your advantages

Long service life

up to 100 million switching cycles,
short switching time (typ. 1ms)

Energy-saving

Works without supply voltage

Galvanic isolation

through the use of a suitable reed contact

Modifications

Every application has its own special conditions and requirements. You will always receive your optimally matched sensor from us. You will always receive your optimally matched sensor from us.  For this purpose, the installation situation and the use of the sensor must be taken into account. Likewise, the type of mounting and choice of material is very decisive for the long-lasting and reliable function. This is complemented by the matching connection cable with plug.

In any case, our result is a quality product that impresses with its durability, precision fit, quick and safe installation and simple electrical connection.

We offer you a wide range of standard sensors. We can easily and cost-effectively adapt these to your requirements. A completely new development is also possible, thanks to our development with our own toolmaking and plastic injection moulding. Development according to individual specifications is therefore also possible for smaller quantities. You can contact our experts for advice at any time.

Function and structure

Reed sensors, also known as proximity switches, switch by the approach of a magnet. The hermetically encapsulated reed switch inside the sensor responds reliably and accurately to a magnetic field. It is extremely energy-saving because it does not require a supply voltage.

The sensor can be used in almost all environments because it is insensitive to external environmental influences. A long service life is guaranteed by the high switching frequency (up to 100 million) of the reed switch. The contact resistance is very low (typically 100 mOhm). The switching time is about 1 ms.

The sensor is available as a make contact, break contact or changeover contact. The matching switching solenoid, also in an installation-friendly housing, is of course also available from us.

Your advantages

The reed sensor functions reliably and durably in almost any environment. Due to the operating principle with the reed switch and permanent magnet, the sensor works extremely energy-efficiently. It does not require a separate supply voltage.

It is insensitive to environmental influences due to the encapsulation of the switching contact. The switching tongues are located in a hermetically sealed glass tube containing a protective gas.
