MAS110B8-RB5AT IMO Limit Switch, Miniature Cabled Sealed Coil Spring

Why Choose the IMO MAS110B8-RB5AT Miniature Limit Switch?

The IMO MAS110B8-RB5AT is a compact miniature cabled sealed coil spring limit switch designed for reliable position detection and mechanical sensing in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the IMO MA miniature limit switch range, it combines a robust metal body with a flexible coil spring actuator that can respond to contact from multiple approach directions.

The MAS110B8-RB5AT features an S11 1NO + 1NC snap-action contact arrangement, providing one normally open and one normally closed switching circuit. The snap-action mechanism provides rapid contact changeover when the operating point is reached, while the coil spring actuator is particularly useful where the position or direction of the moving machine component can vary.

The MAS110B8-RB5AT is supplied as a pre-wired cabled switch, simplifying installation into machinery and control systems. Its sealed actuator arrangement, compact metal construction and flexible spring actuation make it suitable for industrial applications requiring dependable electromechanical position feedback without the rigid approach requirements of a conventional plunger actuator.

Key Advantages

• Compact miniature limit switch for industrial position detection.
• Sealed coil spring actuator provides flexible multidirectional mechanical operation.
• 1NO + 1NC snap-action contacts provide rapid and dependable switching.
• Factory-cabled construction simplifies machine installation and wiring.
• Durable metal body for industrial machinery applications.

Flexible Coil Spring Position Detection

The IMO MAS110B8-RB5AT provides electromechanical position feedback by converting movement of its flexible coil spring actuator into an electrical switching signal. When a moving machine component deflects the spring sufficiently, the internal snap-action mechanism changes the state of the normally open and normally closed contacts, providing a clear signal to the associated machine control circuit.

Unlike a rigid piston or roller plunger that normally requires a more controlled approach path, the coil spring can accommodate contact from different directions. This makes the MAS110B8-RB5AT particularly useful for irregular moving components, presence detection and applications where some variation in the actuator contact position is expected.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery position detection.
• Presence and movement sensing.
• End-of-travel detection.
• Conveyors and material handling systems.
• Packaging and production machinery.
• Automated manufacturing equipment.
• Mechanical sequencing and position feedback systems.
