Limit Switch- 36:1 Series 54 Gear Ratio With 2 Contact Blocks Hubbell 54BB23FB

Product Information

Specification

Also Known As :

Limit the travel of electrically operated doors, conveyors, hoists, machine tool work tables and similar devices. Equipment having rotating mechanisms, or linear motion which can be translated into rotational motion, can be controlled by these versatile switches. Furnas Series 54 switches can be mounted in any position and are easy to wire and adjust.

About :

The Hubbell 54BB23FB, if a valid model, seems to be a particular type of limit switch with specified features, which is a type of switch operated by the motion of a machine part or the presence of an object.

Common Applications: :

• A 36:1 gear ratio means that the driving gear (or input gear) must turn 36 times to make the driven gear (or output gear) turn once. This kind of ratio is typical in applications where a significant reduction in speed and a corresponding increase in torque is required.
• Contact blocks are typically components of switchgear, relays, or circuit breakers, involved in making or breaking an electrical connection. They can be found in control circuits for motors and other equipment.

Standards:

• A device with a 36:1 gear ratio could be part of a mechanical system where slow motion and high torque are required, for example, in an actuator or a motor-driven device.
• Contact blocks could be associated with the control circuitry of the same device, perhaps to initiate or halt the motion, or to provide feedback on the position or status of the mechanical system.
• Drives the opening and closing of a valve. The high gear ratio allows for precise control over the valve's position, with significant torque to handle a heavy valve.

Construction :

• Consists of springs, levers, and other components that transfer the motion of the actuator to the contacts.
• Made of materials that offer durability and reliability over many operating cycles
• Options to mount the limit switch in place, which could include flanges, brackets, or holes for screws/bolts.
• These are the points where the switch connects to the electrical circuit. They can be screw terminals, quick connect terminals, or cable glands.

Features :

Industrial Machinery:
• To detect the presence or position of objects or parts.
Safety Interlocks:
• To ensure that dangerous machinery is powered down when access doors are opened.
Position Detection:
• In elevators, doors, gates, etc., to detect the open or closed position.
Installation:
• The switches should be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications and guidelines, considering the environmental and operational conditions.
Maintenance:
• Regular maintenance checks to ensure that the switch is operating effectively and safely. It may include cleaning, inspection, and testing.
Voltage and Current:
• Indicates the maximum voltage and current that the switch is rated for. Exceeding these ratings can cause failure or unsafe conditions.
