Product Overview and Use-Case Description
1L- MSM-116 Big Flange Surface Mount Magnetic Switch is produced for the design in magnetic sensing. The large operational gap (18 mm for NO, 10 mm for NC) provides the freedom of placement without the need for ideal positioning. The ABS is engineered for maximum service life with environmental stress protection, and the PVC-coated wires provide electrical safety in commercial and industrial merger. This is a fully sealed and protected switch providing in excess of 10 million cycles of mechanical life, fully supporting a huge range of applications in high-frequency switching environments, including machine guarding, automated addition, access control, and security systems.
Common applications of this model are:
- Intruder alarm systems
- Monitoring warehouse shutter and doors
- Smart home automation
- Industrial control consoles
- Machine safety interlocks and protective covers
- Magnet-triggered IoT devices
Why Choose This Reed Switch?
Operating at the specified voltage, current, and power ratings make sure the reliable performance for low and medium-voltage applications.
✔ Simple Installation
The large flange mount design provides flexible installation and ease of anchoring with screws or adhesive—great for any installer requiring a high level of installation flexibility. Reliable long-term performance, with a lifecycle lasting 10 million cycles, is hinges on the quality of the switch. More than enough scope for neatly configuring the wiring within enclosures or behind a panel is provided by the 18\” side wire leads.
If a long-lasting, recessed reed switch matches the switch’s surface mount capability, the 1L-MSM-116 is already a well-established standard for the automation and security of any professional’s installation. This single switch, unlike others, targets reliable uniform triggering despite gaps in operational use, unlike others that don’t target triggering.
Customers consistently seek reliable embedded reed switches and often compare construction quality and copper prices for swing contacts in the bracket of the reed switch price. 1L-MSM-116 is notable for competitively priced, industrial-quality reed switches with performance that stands the test of time. Reliable performance in a variety of environmental conditions makes this switch, with both an NO and NC version available, remain a trending solution for OEMs, Installers, and Manufacturers looking for reliable performance in any quality mobile sensing technology.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What makes a ‘Big Flange Mount’ Reed Switch like 1L MSM 116 different from a Small Flange Mount Reed Switch?
A Big Flange Mount Reed Switch such as the 1L MSM 116 is designed with a larger and wider mounting base, which provides stronger hold, better stability, and more secure installation on doors, shutters, or industrial panels. In comparison, a Small Flange Mount Reed Switch has a compact mounting footprint, making it ideal for tight spaces or slim frames where minimal visibility is required.
Because of its bigger flange, the 1L MSM 116 performs exceptionally well as a Door Magnetic Switch in high-traffic or heavy-door applications, while the smaller flange version is preferred for lightweight doors or limited-space installations.
Why is the 1L MSM 116 preferred in textile machines like looms and warping units?
The 1L MSM 116 is preferred in looms and warping machines because textile equipment runs continuously at high speeds, creating vibration and movement. The big flange design keeps the switch firmly mounted, preventing misalignment and ensuring accurate detection even in non-stop production environments.
Does the 1L MSM 116 perform well in dusty or lint-heavy textile environments?
Yes. Textile units naturally produce lint, fibers, and fine dust, which often interfere with small switches. The 1L MSM 116’s robust housing and stronger mounting base help maintain stable sensing even when exposed to lint build-up around machine covers or safety doors.
Why do textile factories choose a Big Flange Mount instead of a small flange switch?
Textile machines often have heavy metal covers, wide frames, and larger access doors, which require a stronger and more stable mounting surface. The Big Flange Mount provides better grip, stronger screw holding, and reduced vibration shift, making it more reliable compared to small flange switches.
Can the 1L MSM 116 be used for safety interlocking on dyeing, printing, or finishing machines?
Absolutely. Operators in dyeing and finishing lines frequently open machine panels to inspect fabric. The 1L MSM 116 works effectively as an interlock Door Magnetic Switch, ensuring panels are detected accurately and helping prevent accidental access during running cycles.
