Reed Switches
What are Reed Switches?
Reed Switches have been around for a long
time now and are still a popular choice for many switching applications. Magnetic reed switches are electric switches that are operated by a magnetic field, in
their most basic form they consist of a pair of ferromagnetic metal reed contacts
hermetically sealed in a glass envelope with terminals at each end. When the
reed switch is in close proximity of a magnetic field these metal reeds close
forming a circuit. Likewise, when the magnetic field is removed the circuit is
broken. As a rule of thumb, the smaller the reed switch then generally the more
sensitive they are. Reed Switches are hermetically sealed and they can operate
in many environments, such as where flammable gases are present and they also
require zero power to operate if the applied magnetic force is via a common
magnet.
Where are Reed Switches used?
Reed Switches are utilised in
many applications such as being utilised as proximity sensors monitoring the position
of safety guards or doors and windows linked to an alarm system. You can find
reed switches fitted to rotary devices as a form of speed sensor, opening and
closing as a magnetic field passes by, used for level detection in tanks of
liquid and even within a laptop causing the computer to go into sleep mode when
the lid is closed. You will also find reed switches fitted to pneumatic
cylinders to monitoring the shaft position. Types of reed switch include
latching reed switch, bistable
reed switch, hall effect reed switch amongst many others.
Kempston Controls, a leading stockist of automation
and control components stocks a select range of Reed Switches from all of the market
leading brands including Balluff, Molex, Schmersal, Norgren, SICK and more. Give our dedicated sales
