831700C3.EL

831700C3.EL is a snap action, limit switch manufactured by Schneider Electric. It is a rugged steel switch with a variety of different connection options and operating parameters, enabling them to be used in a wide range of applications.The switch consists of a tooled external lever which moves an internal switch mechanism when used. When the switch is depressed, the lever is able to move down. The internal switch mechanism then operates to make and break the electrical connection.The switch mechanism operates in two stages. Firstly, an adjustable spring loaded limit stop is engaged, which limits the travel of the lever arm, and then the electrical contacts are made. This ensures that the contacts can only be made within a given range of motion and are not subject to accidental contact due to excessive or uncontrolled movement.The range of motion of the lever can be altered depending on the application, and it can range from 10 to 20 millimetres, depending on the load and the environment. This means that the switch can be tailored to the application, making it very versatile.The switch is rated up to 35 Amps and are suitable for use in both DC and AC circuits. It is available in a variety of contact materials and sizes, making it suitable for a range of applications and operating temperatures.The switch has a wide range operating temperature range, from -20°C to 80°C, and meets international safety standards. It is also corrosion resistant, making it suitable for use in harsh environment and outdoor application.831700C3.EL is designed for easy installation, and can be mounted either vertically or horizontally. It is also designed to be easy to maintain, with access to the contacts and the actuator.Overall, 831700C3.EL is a rugged and reliable industrial grade snap action limit switch, with a wide range of operating parameters, connection capabilities and safety ratings. It is suitable for use in a number of different applications and can be tailored to suit each individual application.
