Magnetic Sensor for Elevator & Cargo Lifts – Flex Stop Precision Upgrade

 

The Lift Mate Magnetic Sensor is designed to improve stopping accuracy, leveling, and overall control for elevator and cargo lift systems. When added to your Lift Mate controller, this sensor enables the Flex Stop feature, allowing your lift to stop automatically at precise, magnet-marked positions you choose.

Your Lift Mate device already includes a single limit switch for the storage and down-to-service positions. Installing this additional magnetic sensor expands your system, giving you more customized stop points and smoother lift operation.

Why This Magnetic Sensor Improves Performance

• Flex Stop Functionality

Create multiple, custom stopping locations for better control and convenience.

• Accurate, Repeatable Stopping

The sensor detects magnets placed at each point, ensuring the lift stops at the exact height every time.

• Non-Contact, Low-Wear Design

Magnetic sensing reduces mechanical strain and delivers long-lasting reliability.

• Ideal for Elevators & Cargo Lifts

Perfect for lifts requiring precise leveling, consistent loading heights, or multi-floor stopping.

Best Uses

• Residential elevators with multiple landings
• Cargo lifts and platform lifts needing repeatable loading levels
• Garages, workshops, and service lifts
• Accessibility lifts requiring accurate alignment

Simple Installation Overview

1. Power off the lift system.
2. Mount the magnetic sensor on the lift carriage or frame.
3. Place magnets at each position you want the lift to stop.
4. Enable Flex Stop in your Lift Mate interface or app.
5. Test each stop to verify proper detection and accuracy.

This setup creates a clean, customizable stopping system tailored to your lift.

Important Notes

• The original limit switch remains the primary storage and service stop.
• The magnetic sensor adds flexibility, not a replacement for safety limits.
• Proper magnet alignment ensures smooth and accurate operation.

Conclusion

Adding the Lift Mate Magnetic Sensor is an effective way to upgrade the precision and reliability of your elevator or cargo lift. With Flex Stop enabled, your lift gains smooth, consistent, and accurate stopping positions that improve daily use and overall performance.
