About Pull wire limit switches (Operation in traction and release)
Pull wire limit switches
Limit switches with rope for simple stop, without manual reset. These limit switches are useful for signalling and for commanding doors or similars. Available also in special version with double signal in traction or release, helpful to signal an eventual loss of tension due to the breaking of the rope.
Reliable Emergency Safety SolutionsEngineered for maximum reliability, pull wire limit switches provide instant emergency stop capability on conveyor belts and heavy machinery. The traction and release operating mechanism, combined with an integrated tension spring, ensures swift and consistent actuation in critical situations. With customizable wire lengths, these switches easily adapt to diverse industrial environments.
Adaptable to Demanding ConditionsDesigned for harsh applications, the switch's die-cast aluminum housing and IP65 protection make it resilient to dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. With vibration resistance up to 1.5mm amplitude and shock resistance up to 50G, these limit switches can be depended on under rigorous operational stresses.
FAQ's of Pull wire limit switches (Operation in traction and release):
Q: How does the pull wire limit switch operate in emergency stop applications?
A: The switch operates via a traction and release mechanism. When the wire is pulled (traction) or released, it promptly actuates the internal snap-action contacts, triggering an immediate emergency stop signal, making it ideal for conveyor belt safety and similar applications.
Q: What benefits does the integrated tension spring provide in this device?
A: The integrated tension spring ensures the wire remains taut and responsive to either traction or release, maintaining consistent performance and preventing false triggers, especially in extended installations up to 50 meters.
Q: Where can I install the pull wire limit switch for optimal safety coverage?
A: These switches are designed for panel mounting along conveyors, machinery, or any hazardous area requiring accessible emergency stops. The wiring conduit entry (G1/2) and customizable wire length allow flexible placement along the protection zone.
Q: What is the operational process for resetting the switch after an emergency stop?
A: After activation, the switch must be manually reset to resume operation, ensuring that machinery does not restart unintentionally. This process preserves operator safety and equipment integrity.
Q: When should the pull wire limit switch be used in an industrial setting?
A: Use these switches whenever there's a need for a manual, immediately accessible emergency stop, particularly along conveyor belts, automated production lines, or any scenario where rapid intervention is essential for safety.
Q: What environments and conditions can this limit switch withstand?
A: Built with a die-cast aluminum alloy body, the switch is resistant to ambient humidity up to 95% RH, temperatures from -20C to +65C (operational), strong vibrations, shocks, and dust/moisture ingress (IP65-rated), making it ideal for tough industrial environments.
