MK11/B brass housing
Meder Electronic has announced that its MK11 series threaded-reed sensor is now available in brass.
The MK11/B brass housing can withstand high torque settings and resist high temperatures, moisture and compression, according to the company.
The MK11 series sensors are supplied in a threaded-style housing and with accompanying hardware, allowing for exact adjustment in limit-switch, end-position and proximity-sensing applications.
The new brass housing's non-ferromagnetic properties also eliminate any potential magnetic switching interferences.
In addition to the added stability, the MK11/B comes in four metric thread sizes: M6, M8, M10 and M12.
While the standard MK11/B series brass version is equipped with a 500mm-long, round PVC cable, the company offers many other wire termination and connector options.
A full range of SPST and SPDT power switching options is available using Meder's KSK series reed switches.
Samples are available for evaluation and prototyping by request.
