|Air Grippers

The MHZ series and other air gripper catalogs do not list any reed auto switches in the list of applicable auto switches. Can they not be used?

Reed auto switches do not respond due to the magnetic force of the magnet. While reed auto switches may respond to some models, the response is too unreliable for use. Therefore, an air gripper with a larger hysteresis than a solid state auto switch and a shorter piston stroke cannot be used with a reed auto switch for reliable detection.
