📝 Description

These Large cylindrical Magnet sensors are designed to efficiently switch line voltages up to 30W, making them ideal for applications requiring robust electrical performance. They offer a range of activating distances depending on the magnet type and AT band selected, ensuring versatility to meet specific operational needs with precision.

To enhance flexibility, the magnet sensor can be customized with non-standard connectors upon request, facilitating seamless integration into various industrial and consumer electronics setups. Prior to shipment, each sensor undergoes meticulous 100% testing to validate its performance across critical parameters such as Operate AT, Release AT, Static Contact Resistance, and Variable Contact Resistance. This rigorous testing process ensures that every sensor meets stringent quality standards, delivering reliable and consistent operation upon deployment.

Large Cylindrical sensors excel in door sensing applications in White Goods, where their durable construction and dependable performance contribute to accurate and reliable positioning feedback. As an omni-polar device, this sensor responds equally to magnetic fields from north and south poles, offering flexibility in magnet orientation to suit different application environments and requirements.

Engineers can optimize sensor functionality by selecting the appropriate AT band, magnet strength, and operating axis, thereby controlling the sensor to execute a single operate and release cycle per activation. This customization minimizes the risk of unintended switching events, enhancing overall system reliability and operational efficiency in critical industrial scenarios.

These large cylindrical sensors combine robust design, versatile performance capabilities, and rigorous quality testing to provide dependable switching solutions for demanding industrial and electronic applications. Their high switching capacity, adaptability, and reliability make them a preferred choice where precision, durability, and consistent performance are essential considerations.
