Schmersal BN 20-2RZ magnetic switch 101172893

The BN 20-2RZ-M16 from Schmersal is a rectangular magnetic sensor with a robust aluminum housing. This sensor operates on a magnetic principle and is particularly suitable for safety-critical industrial applications. It features two latching contacts, ensuring precise position monitoring.

With a mechanical lifespan of at least 1 billion switching cycles, the BN 20-2RZ-M16 is highly durable. The sensor has a side actuation plane and active surface. The switching distance is up to 50 mm, depending on the actuator magnet used. The sensor is designed for a maximum actuation speed of 18 m/s.

The BN 20-2RZ-M16 has an IP67 protection rating and operates in a temperature range from -25 °C to +90 °C. The maximum switching voltage is 250 VAC with a switching current of up to 3 A.

Important Note: The actuator is not included in the delivery. Recommended actuators include models like BP 10 S, BP 20 S, BP 21 N, and more.
