Construction
The Solartron Mobrey safety switch has
two main components :

Fixed Assembly
Comprises a die-cast aluminium housing
containing the second 'T' shaped magnet,
retaining magnet, switch contacts and
terminals. The retaining magnet ensures
that the contacts changeover with a
positive action.

Actuating Assembly
This assembly is attached to the movable
guard or door. The 'T' shaped permanent
magnet is spring mounted in a bracket
providing sufficient flexibility to allow for
slight misalignment with the 'T' recess in
the fixed assembly.
