Plastic Rod Mini Limit Switches Relay and Control RCM-404

Product Information

Specification

Also Known As :

Limit switches are electromechanical devices that regulate the operation of machinery, equipment, or processes based on the position or movement of an object. They are designed to detect the presence, absence, or exact position of an object. When the object reaches a predefined position or limit, the switch is activated, sending a signal to the control system.

About :

The "Relay and Control RCM-404 Adjustable Length Roller Lever" seems to be a specific product model pertaining to a type of actuator or switch lever, commonly used in limit switches and other similar devices. These levers are designed to detect or sense the presence or position of objects in various applications

Common Applications: :

• These use an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch.
• These use solid-state components to perform the switching action without moving parts.
• Control refers to the systems and methods used to manage or command the behavior of other systems or devices. In an electrical context, controls can range from simple switches
• Mini Limit Switches are simply smaller versions designed for applications where space is limited.

Standards:

• UL recognized File E100312
• Wide choice of heads and actuators.
• Captive cover screws.
• Internal grounding screw.
• Dustproof, Oil Tight, Water-Resistant.
• Temp. range +5°F to +160°F (-15°C to +70°C)

Construction :

• Small relays that use magnetic fields to close two reeds in a glass case.
• Triggered by current; when the current exceeds a certain level, it heats a bimetallic strip or releases a catch, thus triggering the relay.
• Open-Loop Control Systems, the control action is independent of the output. A good example is a manual washing machine.
• Closed-Loop Control Systems, the control action is somehow related or dependent on the output. A common example is a thermostat in a heating system.

Features :

Actuator/Plunger:
The part of the switch that comes into direct contact with the target object. This can be a lever, roller, plunger, etc.
Contacts:
These are the electrical components that are either opened or closed when the switch is activated. Contacts can be normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC).
Housing:
This encloses the switch, offering protection from environmental conditions.
Mounting:
Most limit switches have mounting holes or brackets for secure attachment to machinery or equipment.
Machinery:
To detect the end of a travel range or to ensure an object is correctly positioned.
Safety:
Used to ensure certain conditions are met before equipment can operate.
Position Sensing:
Ensure that doors, valves, etc., are in their proper positions.
