Electromagnetic RFID Switch 1000N (MGL-2M)

The MGL-2M is a magnetic guard locking safety switch with coded RFID technology, designed to provide high functional safety and reliable electromagnetic guard interlocking in industrial applications. Housed in a heavy-duty die-cast metal housing with pre-wired cable and gland, it is ideally suited to machine guarding systems requiring guard monitoring with a high level of tamper resistance.


  • Manufactured from Heavy-Duty Die-Cast Metal
  • Holding Force Rated to F1Max 1000N (100Kg)
  • Ingress Protection up to IP67
  • Functions as a Power-to-Lock Device
Part Number Part Description
465001 MGL-2M-U 5m
465002 MGL-2M-U 10m
465004 MGL-2M-M 5m
465005 MGL-2M-M 10m

Important Note
As a power-to-lock device, the MGL range requires careful consideration in the event of power loss, particularly on machines where hazardous motion or risk remains present during run-down before the danger is fully removed.
