Bimba MRS-.087-PBL-09 Magnetic Reed Switch

The Bimba MRS-.087-PBL-09 Magnetic Reed Switch is a band-mounted, two-wire SPST normally open reed switch designed to sense piston position in Bimba Original Line cylinders via the magnet on the piston. The PBL variant includes an LED indicator and is rated for 3 to 120 V AC or DC, with a maximum load of 2.5 W and a minimum operating current of 10 mA (typical operation up to 20 mA at higher voltages). Actuation time is about 1.0 ms, making it suitable for fast position sensing in automation circuits. The switch carries an IP65 protection rating and operates from -25°C to 85°C, and it uses a 24-inch lead length for wiring. Typical applications include triggering programmable controllers, relays, solenoids, or timers in pneumatic control systems, where a piston magnet closes the reed circuit to generate a reliable sensing signal. With its band-mounted form factor, the MRS-.087-PBL-09 provides direct feedback for position sensing and control loops in Original Line cylinder assemblies.
