Cat's Whisker Non-metallic Advance Controls Limit Switch 103497

Product Information

Specification

Also Known As :

Non-metallic switches are resistant to corrosion and are particularly useful in environments where they may be exposed to chemicals, moisture, or other corrosive elements.

About :

Heavy Duty Limit Switch. Interchangeable with most other brands of switches. 4 position field adjustable indexing actuator head. Reliable and accurate sensing. Furnished standard with 13.5mm to 1/2" NPT adaptor for conduit

Common Applications: :

• Since they are made of non-conductive materials, these switches offer excellent electrical insulation. This makes them safe to use in various applications, including in scenarios where electrical insulation is a priority.
• They are often lighter than their metal counterparts. This can be an advantage in applications where weight is a consideration.
• In many cases, non-metallic switches can be less expensive to manufacture and purchase than metallic switches.
• They often exhibit excellent resistance to weather and environmental conditions, making them suitable for outdoor applications.

Standards:

• Fiberglass rods are strong yet lightweight. They have a high strength-to-weight ratio.
• They resist corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor or industrial applications where rods may be exposed to the elements or chemicals.
• They can be flexible, depending on the manufacturing process and thickness. This makes them suitable for applications that require some degree of flex
• Fiberglass is a good insulator, so these rods are often used in electrical applications to offer insulation properties
• They also have good thermal insulation properties and can withstand various temperatures depending on their design.
• Fiberglass rods are durable and can have a long lifespan if properly maintained.

Construction :

• Used in the making of antennas due to their electrical insulating properties and strength.
• Fiberglass rods are common in outdoor equipment like tent poles because of their strength and flexibility.
• In some construction applications, fiberglass rods are used for their strength, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion.
