MK26 Series MEDER electronic Reed Sensors for Screw Fastening DESCRIPTION MK26 sensors are magnetically operated Reed proximity switches designed for screw mounting. The sensor should be mounted on a fixed surface with the actuating magnet on the moving surface. Introduction or removal of the magnetic field determines the closing and opening of the Reed Switch.
