Norgren M/40/2 Reed Switch Led 80mm Compact Cylinder

Product Description

The NORGREN M/40/2 is a reed switch with integrated LED indicator designed for position sensing on 80 mm compact air cylinders. The switch mounts directly to the cylinder body and signals piston position to a control circuit, providing a visual confirmation via the LED when the circuit is closed. Constructed from plastic, it is suited for clean, dry pneumatic automation environments. The operating temperature range runs from -4 degrees F to 176 degrees F, making it appropriate for standard industrial and light manufacturing applications. Licensed pneumatic system technicians and automation electricians are the typical installers for this type of sensing accessory.

This reed switch is intended for use with 80 mm compact pneumatic cylinders in automated machinery, assembly equipment, and process control systems where end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position feedback is required. It is well suited to residential and commercial automation panels, conveyor systems, and fixture clamping circuits where a low-cost, reliable magnetic reed sensing solution is preferred over electronic proximity switches.

Key Features

• Integrated LED provides immediate visual confirmation of switch activation
• Plastic construction keeps weight minimal at 0.1 pounds
• Compatible with 80 mm compact air cylinders for direct-mount installation
• Operating temperature range of -4 degrees F to 176 degrees F suits standard industrial environments
• Compact form factor designed to fit cylinder T-slots or mounting grooves without additional hardware

Compatibility

Designed for use with 80 mm compact pneumatic air cylinders as a direct-mount position sensing accessory.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an automation technician or industrial electrician. De-energize the pneumatic circuit and exhaust all air pressure before mounting or removing cylinder sensors. Verify the cylinder's magnetic piston is present, as reed switches require a magnet carrier to actuate. Follow applicable NFPA and NEC guidelines for low-voltage sensor wiring in the control panel.
