BZ-3RD-A2

Snap action, limit switches are highly versatile components which are able to sense, detect and trigger mechanical movements in machines, respectively. The BZ-3RD-A2 is a particular limit switch designed primarily to be used with precision linear actuators and quick action mechanisms. This limit switch is also capable of being used in conjunction with traditional mechanical switches.

A BZ-3RD-A2 limit switch comprises a housing consisting of two part bodies molded from reinforced nylon with molded-in brass inserts. A plunger is used to compress a spring which in turn opens and closes a switch make and break contacts when the actuator reaches its limit in both direction. Its operation is simple as it requires a minimum of 150g of pressure to activate either the make or break contacts.

The BZ-3RD-A2 has a range of features that make it very suitable for many applications. First, the limit switch is sized for use in confined spaces since the body measures 66 x 42 x 24mm. This feature makes it the ideal choice for lightweight, linear actuators where space is often at a premium. Second, it has rated a current of three amps at 125/250 VAC and 1.5 amps at 120 VDC. This current rating is ideal for mid-level control projects, ensuring that the limit switch is appropriate for small to medium size jobs. Third, its mechanical life is rated at a minimum of 500,000 cycles, which makes it highly durable and well-suited for use in applications that require reliable and long lasting performance.

The BZ-3RD-A2 also features a very low contact pressure, which makes it ideal for applications where high accuracy is essential. It is also capable of switching low voltage/high current signals without the need for extra components. This is an advantage because it reduces the wiring complexity within the system, thus providing easier installation and maintenance. Finally, the limit switch has an LED indicator which illuminates when contact is made, allowing for quick troubleshooting in the case of a malfunction.

The BZ-3RD-A2 limit switch is suitable for a variety of applications, including motor control, robotics, automation equipment and door control systems. It is also ideal for use with precision linear actuators, making it an attractive option for those looking to make precise, quick action movements. The limit switch provides an effective way to detect the limits of linear motion and is able to do so with its ease of installation, high accuracy, and long lasting performance.
