Mechanical Plunger Limit Switch Range
The Euroswitch FS Mechanical range is built on the very dependable FerroProx technology platform. They are designed to work reliably in very arduous and harsh conditions, including Explosion Proof Ex d and UL/CSA Class I Div 1 areas, where detection of a target via a mechanical plunger is required. In presence of the target, the plunger assembly magnetically activates the mechanical switch which is housed within a completely separate chamber within the 316L Stainless Steel housing.
Fully submersible and pressure rated mechanical limit switch versions are available for use as hatch door detection on amphibious vehicles, valve position sensing, ROV docking, reverse safety alarm and battery interlocks. These are available with multiple options of dry mate or wet mate subsea connectors or with over-moulded integral cable.
Available in either cylindrical threaded housings or rectangular housings with screw holes, they can also be terminated with various cable/lead wire types, QDC connectors (M12 micro-change, 7/8” mini-change), or with one of four wireable head options (W, WL, WLR, WLRT).
