Reed-based proximity sensors
Reed-based proximity sensors are robust magnetic sensors designed for contactless position and end-position detection. They are particularly suitable for applications where reliability, simplicity and long service life are key requirements.
One of the main advantages of Reed technology:
No power supply required and large switching distances, even in demanding environments.
Why choose Reed proximity sensors?
- Passive operation – no supply voltage required
- Reliable switching performance with large sensing distances (depending on the magnet)
- Long service life thanks to a wear-free switching principle
- Galvanic isolation for high electrical safety
- Customer-specific versions available even in small quantities
Typical applications
Reed proximity sensors are used wherever simple, robust and reliable position detection is required, for example:
- Position and end-stop monitoring
- Door, flap and cover monitoring
- Machinery and plant engineering
- Mobile machines and vehicles
- Safety and interlocking systems
(The optimal design strongly depends on the magnet, geometry and installation conditions.)
