Cross Bar Limit Switch

About Cross Bar Limit Switch

A crossbar limit switch is a type of limit switch that utilizes a crossbar mechanism to actuate and control the electrical contacts. A limit switch is a device that is commonly used in industrial automation to detect the presence or absence of an object, or to monitor the position of a machine component. When the object or machine component reaches a certain position, it activates the limit switch, causing it to change its state and send a signal to control other devices or machinery.The crossbar mechanism in a crossbar limit switch typically consists of a horizontal bar that moves along a perpendicular axis. When the moving part (such as a lever or actuator) reaches a specific position, it engages with the crossbar, causing it to move and actuate the switch. This movement can lead to the opening or closing of electrical contacts within the switch, triggering an electrical signal.Limit switches, including those with crossbar mechanisms, are often used in a variety of applications, such as conveyor systems, robotics, assembly lines, and other automated processes. They help ensure the proper functioning of machinery, provide safety features, and contribute to the overall control and automation of industrial processes.Product details of Cross Bar Lever Limit Switch are given below: General Characteristics: According to IEC/EN 60947-3 Self extinguishing thermoplastic housing VO uL 94 IP65 Double insulation IEC/EN60529 Prepared with aluminum rods 6x300 mm with indicator position 0 n1 Cable entry O 22,5 Ambient temperature: Operating -25 Degree to 55 Degree centigrade Storage -30 Degree centigrade to 70 Degree centigrade Electrical Characteristics: According to IEC/EN60947-3, uL508 Rated insulation voltage Ui: 690V Rated thermal current Ithe: 16A Frequency: 50/60 Hz Rated short circuit withstand current (gG 20A-690V) Rated thermal current: AC-21A - AC-22A: 690V-16A AC23A - 3x3: 230V-13A/4kW, 400V-13A/7,5kW Cross Bar Limit Switch Video: Download PDF of Cross Bar Limit Switch:
