Norgren M/50/LSU/2V Air Cylinder Reed Switch

Product Description

The NORGREN M/50/LSU/2V is a reed switch accessory designed for use with air cylinders. Reed switches sense piston position by detecting the magnetic field generated by a magnet mounted on the cylinder piston, providing a discrete electrical signal to a controller or PLC. This unit is constructed with a plastic housing, keeping it lightweight at 0.1 pounds. It is rated for a minimum operating temperature of -5 degrees F, making it suitable for cold-environment pneumatic applications. Installation is typically performed by pneumatic system technicians and automation maintenance professionals.

This reed switch is used in pneumatic cylinder position sensing applications across industrial, manufacturing, and automation environments. It mounts externally to the cylinder body and requires no direct contact with the piston or cylinder bore. Typical use cases include end-of-stroke detection on single- and double-acting air cylinders in light to medium-duty automation systems. It is suited for both new installations and field replacement of worn or failed position sensors on compatible cylinder bodies.

Key Features

• Plastic housing keeps weight minimal at 0.1 pounds
• Rated for minimum operating temperature of -5 degrees F
• Reed-switch sensing technology detects piston position without mechanical contact
• Compact form factor suited for external cylinder body mounting
• Package quantity of 1 for single-unit field replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or accessory reed switch for compatible air cylinder bodies that accept external position sensors of this type.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician. De-energize and exhaust all air pressure from the cylinder and connected circuit before handling any pneumatic components. The switch mounts to the external T-slot or groove on the cylinder body and should be secured per the cylinder manufacturer's guidance. Verify polarity and signal output type before wiring into a control circuit.
