Overview
The Norgren M/50/LSU/2V is a magnetically operated reed switch sensor built for reliable position sensing on pneumatic cylinders with magnetic pistons. This unit includes a yellow LED indicator and comes pre-wired with a 2m PVC cable terminated with bare end flying leads. The M/50/LSU series is suitable for all cylinder ranges with magnetic piston and can be mounted flush in profile cylinders, making it an ideal choice for OEM and retrofit applications across manufacturing, packaging, and material handling equipment.
