Top Push Roller With Internal grounding screw Relay and Control RCM-407

Product Information

Specification

Also Known As :

When force is applied from the top, pressing the roller down. After the external force is removed, a spring mechanism typically returns the roller to its original position.

About :

A "Top Push Roller" typically refers to an actuator type commonly used in switches, especially limit switches or microswitches. The "top push" descriptor implies that the actuation force is applied from the top, while the "roller" indicates there's a rolling mechanism, often a small wheel or ball, at the actuating end

Common Applications: :

• Limit switches with top push rollers can detect the end of travel of a moving part or can be used to detect the presence of an object in industrial machinery.
• The roller can detect the presence of items on a conveyor belt or determine the position of a moving belt.
• Used to detect if a protective door or cover is in place.
• Can determine the position of the elevator or detect obstacles.

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 :

• Usually made of a hard, durable material such as stainless steel, hard plastic, or nylon. Provides a smooth surface for contact and reduces wear, especially when the roller interfaces with moving parts.
• Typically made of metal, like stainless steel or aluminum, to ensure rigidity. Transmits the force from the roller to the switch's internal mechanisms.
• Spring steel or another elastic material. Allows the roller to return to its original position after actuation, ensuring the switch is ready for the next cycle. Provides resistance to the actuating force.

Features :

Roller Mechanism:
• Likely includes a roller at the actuating end to reduce wear and enable smoother interaction with moving or rotating objects.
Actuation Direction:
• The switch or sensor associated with this roller is probably actuated when force is applied from the top, pressing the roller down.
Spring Mechanism:
• Most designs incorporate a spring mechanism that returns the roller to its original position once the external force is removed.
Materials:
• Typically constructed from robust materials like metal for durability, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
Mounting Features:
• Might offer provisions for easy and versatile mounting in various orientations, depending on the application.
Environmental Protection:
• Depending on its intended use, it might be designed to withstand different environmental conditions such as dust, moisture, or varying temperatures.
