Magnetic Proximity Switch

A magnetic proximity switch is an electromechanical device that detects the presence or absence of a magnet without physical contact.

These switches operate based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a magnet approaches the switch, it creates a changing magnetic field that induces a current in the switch's coil. This induced current triggers the switch to close, completing an electrical circuit.

• Advantages:
• Contactless operation, eliminating wear and tear.
• High reliability and durability.
• Fast response time.
• Suitable for harsh environments.

Magnetic proximity switches are widely used in various applications, including:

• Automotive industry (door sensors, engine control)
• Industrial automation (machine monitoring, safety systems)
• Consumer electronics (appliances, toys)
