ABSTRACT
Magnetic proximity switches detect magnetic fields at greater distances of up to 60 mm, even through non-ferromagnetic materials like stainless steel. Depending on the permanent magnets used, different sensing distances can be implemented. The permanent magnet can be installed independent of polarity and with large tolerances, which allows many different installation options, even in cramped spaces. Precise switching is thus guaranteed even when used in dirty or damp environments. This means that applications in cranes or heavy vehicles are also easy to implement.
Here is the circuit diagram of a magnetic proximity switch that finds a lot of applications in many fields. The circuit is based on a magnetic reed switch(S1) as the proximity sensor. A monostable multivibrator based on NE555 (IC1) and a toggle flip flop based on CD4013 (IC2) does the rest of the circuit.
When a magnet is reached in proximity of S1 it closes to give a negative trigger at pin 2 of IC1.The output of IC1 goes high for a time determines by R2 and C2.This clocks the IC2 wired as a toggle flip flop. The output (pin 1 ) of IC2 goes high and the transistor Q1 is biased to ON. The relay is activated and so do the equipment connected to the relay. The LED D1 glows when IC1 is triggered.
