About Limit switches metal casing 40 mm
BM - Metal 40mm
Limit switches with metal casing and dimensions conform to the indications of EN 50041 standard. The BM series by COMEPI is particularly suitable for heavy duty applications, thanks to their strength and reliability. These device ensure degree of protection IP66 and they are equipped with one threaded cable inlet with different types of thread. COMEPI produces these devices with excellent results in term of reliability, customer satisfaction and availability in developing new actuation solutions.
Rugged Construction and Long LifeBuilt with a die-cast aluminum alloy enclosure and powder-coated finish, this limit switch is engineered for durability. It withstands challenging industrial conditions, maintaining mechanical integrity over at least 10 million operations. Its metal casing provides robust protection against impacts, dust, and spraying water, aligning with IP65 standards.
Flexible and Reliable OperationFeaturing a 1 NO + 1 NC SPDT contact configuration, this limit switch operates efficiently in both manual and automatic setups. It handles up to 10A current and 250V AC, supporting a broad frequency range of 50/60 Hz. Fast response time (30 ms) and stable performance under 0-95% RH humidity suit dynamic automation environments.
Easy Installation and Versatile ApplicationWith panel/surface mounting flexibility and screw-type terminals, installation is straightforward. The roller plunger actuator supports precise actuation with low force (1.2 N) and an operating speed between 0.1 to 500 mm/sec. Its 18 mm stroke and metallic grey finish make it suitable for a variety of factory and process automation projects.
FAQ's of Limit switches metal casing 40 mm:
Q: How is the limit switch installed and what mounting options are available?
A: This limit switch can be installed using panel or surface mounting methods, providing flexibility for integration into different machinery setups. Its screw-type terminals ensure secure electrical connections during installation.
Q: What environments is this limit switch suitable for?
A: Engineered with a sealed die-cast aluminum housing and rated IP65, the switch is well-suited for dusty, humid, or damp environments. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -10C to +50C and resists vibration and high humidity (0-95% RH, non-condensing).
Q: When should I use a 1 NO + 1 NC contact configuration?
A: A 1 NO + 1 NC (single-pole, double-throw) configuration is ideal when your application requires both a normally open and normally closed circuit-for example, for dual-signal feedback, fail-safe automation processes, or sequential machine controls.
Q: What makes the roller plunger actuator effective in automation processes?
A: The roller plunger actuator allows for rapid, precise mechanical actuation with minimal force (1.2 N) and a swift response time (30 ms). This makes it optimal for conveyor belts, machinery with moving parts, and position sensing in automated systems.
Q: How does this limit switch ensure electrical safety and reliability?
A: With high dielectric strength (1,000V AC for 1 minute), excellent insulation resistance (100 M at 500V DC), and low contact resistance (25m), the switch provides robust protection against electrical faults and guarantees lasting performance.
Q: Where can these limit switches typically be used?
A: They are widely employed in industrial automation, machinery safety shutdowns, conveyor systems, elevators, and manufacturing lines requiring consistent position detection under demanding operating conditions.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing this metal-cased limit switch?
A: The main advantages include robust protection, extended mechanical life (10 million operations), RoHS compliance, high current and voltage handling, quick response, and straightforward installation-making it a reliable and versatile choice for automation projects worldwide.
