About Limit switches for low temperature
Limit switches for low temperature
Limit switches in special version for low temperature applications. These devices, made in special materials, are able to extend the operational temperature range down to -40AAC, putting mechanical performances intact. The limit switches for low temperature applications are useful for refrigerated cells or equipments where the air operational temperature is very low.
Engineered for Extreme EnvironmentsDesigned to withstand challenging conditions, this limit switch operates seamlessly across a wide temperature range of -40C to +80C. Its enclosure, made from high-impact ABS, resists shocks up to 1000 m/s2 and vibrations within 10-55Hz. This durability makes it ideal for industrial settings subjected to rapid temperature fluctuations or mechanical stress.
Reliable and Consistent PerformanceEquipped with a plunger-type actuator and SPDT contact configuration, the switch provides precise detection and quick response times below 50 ms. The high insulation resistance and low contact resistance ensure stable operation at voltages up to 250V AC and 24V DC, supporting automation with minimal downtime.
Safe, Certified, and ConvenientCompliant with IEC 60947-5-1 standards, the switch guarantees high safety and reliability. Its compact build, panel mount design, and flexible cable entry (PG13.5) facilitate straightforward installation and integration. The anti-corrosive matte finish and IP67 rating assure longevity, even in moist or dusty environments.
FAQ's of Limit switches for low temperature:
Q: How can this low temperature limit switch be used in industrial automation systems?
A: This limit switch is designed for integration into industrial automation systems, acting as a detection and signaling device to monitor mechanical movements or positions. Its SPDT configuration allows it to control and relay signals within machinery, ensuring reliable operation even in cold or fluctuating temperature environments.
Q: What benefits does the high impact ABS enclosure provide?
