Our company offers a wide range of magnetic switches manufactured using cutting-edge industry technology. If you are looking for the best and highest-quality magnetic switches for your elevator, look no further! MagneLink Inc. has you covered.
What Is A Magnetic Switch?
A magnetic switch is an electric device that makes or breaks contact when a magnetic field is present. When a strong magnetic field is present, the switch remains operated and opens when the field is removed. MagneLink manufactures magnetic switches using either Reed switches or Hall effect sensors.
Consider using a magnetic switch from MagneLink if you need a multi-functional electrical switch. Our company has committed to developing some of the most technologically advanced and innovative magnetic switches available today.
Why Should You Use Magnetic Switches?
Unlike other types of electrical switches, magnetic switches have some unique features that would improve your product. Some of these features include:
- Less contact resistance
- Longer usability
- Lower maintenance costs
- Easier controls
- More difficult to override
All of these features are available in MagneLink switches, and our company guarantees that you will use some of the market’s finest controls. In addition, our ability to customize ensures you get the best magnetic switch for your application.
MagneLink’s Elevator Switches
Magnetic switches come in various shapes and sizes, each with unique properties that offer themselves to specific applications. Therefore, when designing or selecting a magnetic switch, it is critical to consider specifications such as application type, circuitry, power requirements, magnetic sensitivity, and operating environment.
Elevator electrical motors require a well-programmed magnetic switch and sensor to properly generate feedback on the precise location of the elevator box. This is done to keep the difference between the elevator floor and the actual level floor to no more than an inch.
MagneLink Inc. offers two types of magnetic switches: reed and hall effect switches, that can provide accurate feedback and are suitable for installation in elevators.
Reed Switches
The reed switch consists of a pair of electrical contacts connected to a magnetic metal reed enclosed in sealed gas. The circuit is opened or closed when a magnetic field is applied to the switch via a magnet or a coil. Because these switches can be used in alternating and direct current circuits, they are ideal for elevator applications.
Reed switches have several advantages, making them a popular option for many applications. This type of magnetic switch is ideal for low-power applications because they do not require any power to operate. Reed switches are also more resistant to environmental impacts, such as weather, moisture, or temperature, because their contacts are sealed, allowing them to be used almost anywhere. Moreover, when power consumption is high, reed switches shift to other power-saving methods more quickly.
Other applications of reed switches include:
- Battery-powered devices (laptops and flip cell phones)
- Automatic doors
- Security devices
- Dishwashers and washing machines
- Medical devices (pacemakers and defibrillators)
Hall Effect Switches
The Hall Effect Switch is another type of magnetic switch that MagneLink Inc. offers. This switch employs a Hall Effect sensor, a device that can alter its output voltage in response to applying a magnetic field.
The Hall Effect Sensor, when combined with circuitry, turns the circuit on and off based on changes in the magnetic field. Hall switches, well-known for their precision and accuracy, can even be programmed to activate the button at specific magnetic fields, making it another good choice for elevator applications.
Hall Effect switches are less prone to mechanical misuse because they do not use magnetic reed contacts. They do, however, require a constant power supply to function properly.
Aside from elevators, you can also use this type of magnetic switch in the following applications:
- Home appliances (washer and dryer)
- Seatbelt buckle detection
- Fluid level detection
