Schmersal Magnetic Actuator - BPS 260-1

This magnetic actuator from Schmersal activates the switching of the BNS 260 range of non-contact switches. Its compact size makes it ideal for use in applications where there's limited space, while its rugged, corrosion-resistant housing of glass fibre-reinforced thermoplastic tolerates challenging industrial environments. The magnet assembly is sealed to an IP67 (ingress protection) rating, so it's dust-tight and submersible. So you can feel confident in your workplace safety, this device has a tamper-resistant design that prevents bypassing with a simple magnet or improperly coded magnetic field.

Features and Benefits

• Weight of 2g so it won't affect the mechanical operation of lightweight components
• Compact dimensions of 36 (h) x 26 (w) x 23mm (h)
• Shock and vibration tolerant so it can be used in harsh environments

Application Information

• Machine access panels
• Food processing equipment
• Chemical processing equipment
• Robotics position sensing

How does a magnetic switch work?

Magnetic switches work in a similar way to relays by using a magnetic field to switch over an electrical contact.

What are the advantages of magnetic switches over traditional relays?

Magnetic switches are sealed in plastic, which eliminates sparking hazards in explosive or flammable environments. They also have lower contact resistances, faster switching speeds and longer lifes.
