These Standard cylindrical sensors are engineered to reliably handle loads of up to 10W, combining robust physical construction with versatile functionality. Their ability to withstand physical stresses makes them particularly suitable for applications requiring durability without sacrificing performance. Depending on the magnet type and AT band selected, these sensors offer customizable activating distances, ensuring precise and efficient operation tailored to specific application needs.
For enhanced adaptability, this standard cylindrical magnet sensor can be customized with non-standard connectors upon request, accommodating unique integration requirements in various industrial and consumer electronics settings. Prior to shipment, each sensor undergoes rigorous 100% testing to verify its performance across critical parameters such as Operate AT, Release AT, Static Contact Resistance, and Variable Contact Resistance. This meticulous testing process guarantees that every sensor meets stringent quality standards, ensuring reliable and consistent operation upon installation.
These standard Cylindrical sensors are particularly well-suited for white goods door end position sensing applications, where their robust design and reliable performance play a crucial role in ensuring accurate positioning and operation. As an omni-polar device, this sensor responds to magnetic fields from both north and south poles, offering flexibility in magnet orientation to accommodate diverse application environments.
Engineers can optimize sensor performance 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 customisation minimises unintended switching events, enhancing overall system reliability and performance in critical operational scenarios. More information is one the actuation distance pages.
These standard cylindrical magnet sensors combine durability, versatile design, and comprehensive testing to deliver dependable switching solutions in demanding industrial and electronic applications. Their robustness and adaptable features make them an ideal choice for applications where reliability, precision, and durability are essential requirements.
