622EN85-RB

Snap Action, Limit Switches are used in applications that require an on/off actuation in the form of a button, lever, or other extraneous movement. 622EN85-RB is a Snap Action, Limit Switch designed to detect and control the position of an object. This model is designed to operate by engaging a plunger when actuated, and then holding that position until it is reached again by a corresponding object.

Applications

The 622EN85-RB is typically used in applications where a repetitive movement is required, such as operating specialized machinery or programming robots. This model is suitable for applications where it is necessary to control the position of an object to a predetermined coordinate, such as a robotic arm or conveyor belt.

Working Principle

The 622EN85-RB works by engaging a plunger when activated, and then releasing it when engaged again. When the switch is in its neutral position, the plunger is engaged and held in place. When the object that the switch is controlling reaches the predetermined coordinate, the plunger is then released, which in turn activates the switch which then sends a signal to the controlling hardware or software. The switch then returns to its neutral position, where the plunger is held in place until the next activation.

Construction Features

The 622EN85-RB is constructed with a standard size and shape plastic housing, a temperature resistance of up to 180°F operating voltage of up to 280V, and a minimum actuation force of 0.5 pounds. The switch itself consists of three terminals, one for each output and one for the ground reference point. The construction also allows for easy installation and maintenance. The switch is IP68 rated, confirming it is dust and moisture tight.

Conclusion

The 622EN85-RB is an ideal Snap Action, Limit Switch for controlling mechanical operations such as robotic arms and conveyor belts, and for automation of repetitive processes. Its construction allows for easy installation and maintenance, with a temperature resistance of up to 180°F and operating voltage of up to 280V. Its IP68 rating makes it water, dust and corrosion resistant.
