Reed Sensor with
Screw Thread Enclosure
MK11 + MK 11/M8 Series
DESCRIPTION
MK11 sensors are magnetically operated Reed
Sensors with screw thread enclosure supplied with
interconnect cable. The sensor should be mounted
on a xed surface with the actuating magnet on
the moving surface. Introduction or removal of the
magnetic eld determines the closing and opening
of the Reed Switch.
APPLICATIONS
Piston end travel and position detection
End motion detection for linear drives
Machine industry
DIMENSIONS
All dimensions in mm [inch]
FEATURES
Stainless steel and plastics designs with thread
for space adjustment
High power switches available
Other cables, connectors and colors available
Various case sizes available
Five operate sensitivities available
A choice of cable terminations and lengths are
available
