TopWorx Magnetic Target Switch - MTS is a magnetic, target-actuated, barrel-style switch designed to deliver trusted performance and outstanding value in applications ranging from standard industrial to extreme-duty. Featuring major hazardous area certifications, including IECEx, ATEX, UL, CSA, and available regional approvals, the MTS is designed with a universal style certification, making product selection easier.
Features
Model MTS - Magnetic Target Switch Features
- Non-Contact Sensing: Using the provided target magnet, MTS does not require physical contact, resulting in significantly less maintenance and adjustment over time, especially compared with mechanical limit switches.
- Global Approvals make it easier to fit project specifications with easy, global, general-purpose, explosion-proof, and intrinsically safe options.
- 316L Stainless Steel Enclosure is resistant to corrosion, water ingression, and other environmental strains.
- Hermetically Sealed provides durability in harsh conditions and does not require the fitment of separate conduit lead seals in conduit-connected systems.
