Magnetic Reed Switch Construction Magnetic reed switches are electromechanical devices that open and close electrical circuits in response to magnetic fields. Their construction is critical to their functionality and reliability. The following details outline the key components and configurations of magnetic reed switches. 1. Basic Structure A typical magnetic reed switch consists of two or [...]
What is a Magnetic Reed Switch and How does it Work? What is a Magnetic Reed Switch? A magnetic reed switch is an electromechanical device that operates by the presence or absence of a magnetic field. It consists of two ferromagnetic metal contacts, known as reeds, which are hermetically sealed within a glass envelope. The [...]
On and Off, Off and On: Magnetic Switches How are magnets used in switches, and why are magnetic-powered electric switches important? “On-Off” switches are about as ubiquitous as traffic lights, conventional light switches, and stop signs. Around the world, people frequently interact with these everyday and mundane — yet very important — tools. Something as [...]

Magnetic Field Sensors - Contactless and reliable detection Today’s pneumatic cylinders are compact, reliable, and cost-effective prime movers for automated equipment. Unfortunately, they are often provided with unreliable reed or Hall Effect switches that fail well before the service life of the cylinder itself is expended. magnetic field cylinder sensors are based on non-contact, solid-state [...]
