Manufacturer: Thermo Scientific
Model / Part Number: 50056871
Device type: Proximity switch (proximity switch) for front/rear blade (shovel front/back)
Area of application: Cytomat automation systems
Description:
The Thermo Scientific CYTOMAT SHOVEL FRONT/BACK PROX SWITCH, part number 50056871, is a precise proximity switch used in the Cytomat incubators and automation modules.
This sensor detects the position of the blade (English "shovel") in the front and back areas of the system and thus controls the movement sequences inside the automation system. It ensures safe and accurate detection of positions to enable automatic transport or switching operations to run smoothly.
The switch is robustly designed to withstand the frequent operating cycles in the laboratory environment.
Technical details:

Operating voltage: 10–30 V DC (typical for Prox sensors)
Output: Switching contact (closer or opener, depending on version)
Connection: Wired, 3 or 4 wire
Mounting: Attachment to the blade mechanism in the cytomat system
Material: plastic housing, robust and chemical resistant
Dimensions: approx. 30 × 15 × 10 mm (varies depending on design)
Condition:
The component is in very good used condition, fully functional and tested. It is ideal as a spare part for maintenance and repair of Thermo Scientific Cytomat automation Systems.
