Why Choose the Emas SMS18 Magnetic Switch Actuator?
The Emas SMS18 is a compact magnetic switch actuator designed for use with compatible Emas SMS series rectangular magnetic switches in industrial machinery, automation and guard monitoring applications. As part of the Emas SMS magnetic switch range, it provides the magnetic target required for reliable non-contact detection of doors, guards and other movable machine elements.
The SMS18 is the actuator component of the magnetic sensing system rather than the electrical switching element itself. Its non-contact operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear and provides dependable operation in applications where machine guards and access doors are opened and closed frequently.
Designed for an 8 mm sensing distance and the compact 22 mm rectangular SMS switch format, the SMS18 provides straightforward installation alongside a compatible Emas magnetic sensor. This makes it particularly suitable for industrial machinery where reliable position detection and a compact installation footprint are required.

Reliable Non-Contact Guard Monitoring
Magnetic switch systems monitor the position of machine guards, access doors and movable equipment without requiring direct mechanical contact between the sensor and actuator. When the Emas SMS18 actuator moves into the operating range of its compatible sensor, the magnetic field enables the sensor to detect the position of the associated guard or door.
The non-contact arrangement makes magnetic sensing particularly useful for industrial equipment subject to frequent operation. With its 8 mm sensing distance and compact rectangular construction, the SMS18 provides a practical actuator solution for compatible Emas SMS series installations.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard position monitoring.
- Industrial door detection systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Machine access panels and enclosures.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
