The magnetic proximity switch, SMC012 L NO SP, operates through reed contacts. These contacts consist of thin plates enclosed in a glass bulb with inert gas, responding readily to magnetic induction. When magnetic attraction occurs, the plates flex, making contact and establishing an electrical connection.
Shielded by a sealed construction, magnetic sensor switches like the SMC012 are resistant to dust, oxidization, and corrosion. As a non-contact sensor, the SMC012 boasts longevity and durability, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, such as process automation, control systems, jigging, robotics, and environments with high contaminant levels.
