Gear limit switch used to control and measure the movement of industrial in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres. Saline fog resistant and rich in options, Top is designed to meet the most demanding requirements.

Features

  • It consists of a gear motor that transfers movement to the cams and the other movement detection devices through a primary input reduction stage (worm gear and helical toothed gear) and one or more secondary output stages (pairs of straight toothed gears).
  • Accurate adjustment of cams by means of screws.
  • Positive opening NC contacts for safety functions.
  • Mechanical life of switches: up to 10 million operations.
  • IP protection degree: Top is classified IP 65.
  • Extreme temperature resistance: -25°C to +60°C.
  • Saline fog resistant.
  • It features base and cover made of electrostatic varnished die-cast aluminum, transmission and gear driving shafts made of stainless steel AISI 303, worm gear transmission shaft rotating on ball bearings, self-lubricating technopolymer gears and driving bushes.
  • All materials and components used are wear resistant and guarantee protection of the unit against water and dust.

Options

  • Revolution ratios from 1:1 to 1:8100, achieved by combining different secondary output stages.
  • Each of the three outputs can be set to a different revolution ratio to enable diversified control of the machine when special requirements need to be met.
  • Snap action switches with 1NO+1NC change-over contacts or slow action switches with 1 NC contact.
  • It can be equipped with 3 cam sets (with up to 18 switches).
  • Atex-compliant cable glands and connectors.
  • Available with anti-moisture plug fitted to the base by means of a lock nut, improving transpiration while maintaining protection against water.
  • Available with flanges, pinions and couplings.
  • Plates with universal adapter to replace existing systems.

Certifications

  • CE Marking.
  • Atex Certification.
