BE-2RB19-A2

Snap action, limit switches, also called snap action switches, are mechanical switches that flick on and off in response to a physical force, such as a push, pull, or twist. Used in various settings from industrial manufacturing to consumer electronics, these versatile switches can function as a way to detect the movement of a wheel, as an emergency stop button, or to organize sequential tasks in an automated process.

The BE-2RB19-A2 is a form of snap action, limit switch designed for use in hazardous locations. It meets the hazardous environment criteria of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). It is explosion-proof, designed to prevent sparks and flashes from being released into the surrounding environment.

The BE-2RB19-A2 can be used in a variety of settings, including oil and gas operations, chemical manufacturing, and in food processing plants. It is rated at 10A at up to 600V and is equipped with an adjustable armature that produces an audible click sound when the switch is triggered.

A key feature of the BE-2RB19-A2 is its versatile mounting options. It can be panel-mounted or surface-mounted onto a wall or flat surface. Additionally, it is offered in both oil-tight and dust/vapor-proof models, enabling it to be used in a variety of applications and environments.

The BE-2RB19-A2’s working principle is based on the application of electrical force. When the switch is triggered, either manually or via the pressure of a mechanical component, an electric current is sent through the leads of the switch. This current then creates an electromagnetic field, which acts on the armature and causes it to move, ultimately triggering the switch.

In addition to its versatile mounting options, the BE-2RB19-A2 also offers a number of safety features. It is designed to prevent accidental triggering with an enclosed contact block and an overload-protected actuator. This helps to ensure the switch is safe to use in even the most dangerous of settings.

The BE-2RB19-A2 is a highly durable and reliable snap action, limit switch. It is designed to be used in a variety of settings and environments and features a unique working principle that makes it a great choice for hazardous locations. With its explosion-proof design, adjustable armature, and versatile mounting options, the BE-2RB19-A2 is an excellent addition to any safety system.
