Product description

The Coats 8109947 Hood Switch Magnet is a crucial safety component for the interlock system on modern wheel balancers. This magnet is mounted to the protective hood assembly and interacts with a microswitch to signal the machine's control board when the hood is fully closed. For operator safety, most balancers will not initiate a spin cycle unless this magnetic contact is confirmed, preventing accidental contact with a rotating wheel. Over time, magnets can become cracked, lose their magnetic strength, or fall out of their mounts due to the repeated opening and closing of the hood. If the balancer fails to start or displays an open-hood error even when closed, replacing this magnet is often the necessary fix. It ensures your equipment remains functional and compliant with essential workshop safety protocols.

Product highlights

• Critical Safety Interlock: Enables the machine's spin cycle only when the hood is securely closed to protect the operator.
• High-Strength Magnetic Force: Specifically calibrated to trigger the internal hood microswitch reliably from a set distance.
• Vibration Resistant: Designed to stay secured in its housing despite the constant movement and mechanical vibrations of the balancer.
• Simple Restoration: Quickly resolves intermittent start issues related to hood safety sensor errors.
