Bi-stable Magnet

Magnetic reed switches are often used to replace mechanically actuated limit switches with plungers, roller and turning levers and as important connecting element for non-contact limit switches. In the elevator industry, magnetic reed switches are used for positioning and control.

They are preferably used where mechanically actuated limit switches no longer function satisfactorily due to unfavourable operating conditions such as high or low start-up speeds, high switching frequencies, strong dust or dirt influence, high humidity, chemical atmospheres or large fluctuations in operation intervals.
