Bimba MRS-087-BQC-17 Switch

The BIMBA MRS-087-BQC-17 is an Original Line magnetic reed switch designed to sense piston position in pneumatic cylinders, actuated by a magnet mounted on the piston to feed signals to PLCs, relays, timers, and other control devices. This two-wire, LED‑free reed switch uses an M8 male connector with a 2 m mating cable and is specified as MRS-.087-BQC-17, delivering 120 V at up to 500 mA. It ships without a mounting band (No Band). As part of Bimba’s Original Line MRS family, it benefits from the “Blue and Improved” design and permanent grease lubrication, which extends service life with no additional lubrication required, and it aligns with mounting options found across the MRS line, including band or track configurations in the broader lineup. The MRS family covers multiple bore sizes to fit a range of actuators, making this switch a common choice for cylinder position sensing in industrial automation where reliable, ready-made interface to controllers and timers is essential.
