Bimba Manufacturing MRS-.087-PXBL-04 Magnetic Reed Switch

Bimba MRS-.087-PXBL-04 Magnetic Reed Switch is a two-wire, magnetic reed sensor designed to be actuated by a magnet mounted on the piston of Bimba’s Original Line cylinders. As part of the Original Line MRS family, this switch detects the presence of the piston magnet to generate a signal that can be used to trigger programmable controllers, relays, timers and other automation hardware. The electrical specification for this variant is a 2-wire device rated for 120 V AC at up to 20 mA, making it suitable for low-current sensing circuits in pneumatic systems. In typical use, the magnet on the cylinder piston actuates the reed contacts, providing a discrete sensing event tied to piston position; the MRS line is designed to work with Bimba cylinders that include a magnet on the piston to enable straightforward sensing without external power to the switch. The PXBL suffix identifies this particular MRS series variant, which is part of Bimba’s magnetic reed switch offerings designed for easy integration into standard automation setups and compatible with the broader Original Line sensing ecosystem.
