Product catalog summary
Overview of EUCHNER GmbH + Co. KG:
EUCHNER is a prominent company in industrial safety technology, specializing in high-quality switching systems for mechanical and systems engineering. With over 60 years of experience, the company is headquartered in Leinfelden, Germany, and employs around 700 people globally. EUCHNER is renowned for its innovative safety switches that protect people and processes by monitoring safety doors on machines and installations.
Product Range:
EUCHNER offers a wide range of products including transponder-coded safety switches, multifunctional gate boxes, access management systems, electromechanical and magnetically coded safety switches, enabling switches, safety relays, emergency stop devices, hand-held pendant stations, safety switches with AS-Interface, joystick switches, and position switches.
Mechanical Multiple Limit Switches:
These precision switches are used for controlling and positioning in mechanical and systems engineering. They feature a compact design, low-cost connection, easy access for testing and service, and easy installation. Available in various housing versions, they offer high-quality standards with IP 67 protection.
Function and Structure:
Multiple limit switches consist of several switching elements arranged in a row, actuated by plungers and trip dogs. They can be assembled with snap and safety switching elements, offering a mechanical life of 30 million cycles.
Plunger Systems:
Plungers are made of stainless steel and are highly accurate. Two types of actuating systems are available: telescopic for standard applications and rigid for safety switching elements.
Switching Elements:
Snap-action and slow-action switching elements are used, with positively driven NC contacts ensuring reliable separation. The NO + NC function incorporates both NO and NC functions.
Inductive Multiple Limit Switches:
These switches offer non-contact, wear-free operation and are available in different designs for safety-critical applications.
Trip Rails and Trip Dogs:
Used with multiple limit switches for travel-dependent positioning, offering high accuracy and easy adjustment.
Specifications:
Switches are available with plunger spacing of 8 mm, 12 mm, and 16 mm, made from anodized aluminum, with IP67 protection. Cable entry options include M20 x 1.5 and M25 x 1.5.
Switching Elements:
Types include snap-action and slow-action contacts, with precision up to ±0.002 mm and maximum approach speeds from 8 m/min to 80 m/min.
Plunger Types:
Available types include Chisel, Roller, Ball, and Dome, each with specific applications.
Ordering Codes:
Each series has a specific ordering code format including the number of plungers, plunger type, spacing, switching element, and cable entry specifications.
Additional Features:
Optional LED function display, exterior diaphragm for dust protection, and compatibility with various environments.
Technical Data:
Operating temperature ranges from -5°C to +80°C, with a switching frequency of up to 300 operations per minute and mechanical life from 1 million to 30 million cycles.
Accessories:
Includes replacement switching elements and cable glands for various cable diameters.

General General information on mechanical multiple limit switches Use EUCHNER precision multiple limit switches are used for controlling and positioning in all areas of mechanical and systems engineering and for solving automation tasks. Exterior diaphragm A series with an exterior diaphragm which is designed to resist the effect of resinous cooling lubricants is also available. The exterior diaphragm provides additional sealing of the plunger outside the housing. The plunger guides in the housing are thus reliably protected from the penetration of the cooling lubricant. Plunger sticking is prevented...

General Travel ratio for plunger/trip dog Switching elements All the plunger travel data shown in the technical data refers to axial actuation. When using our trip dogs in accordance with DIN 69639, this travel is doubled at the trip rail. Snap-action switching element Snap-action switching elements are predominantly used in mechanical multiple limit switches. On snap-action switching elements, the change from the completely closed state to the completely open state is made at a defined point (operating point). As a result the operating point is at a defined position unlike on slow-action contact...

General General information on inductive multiple limit switches Inductive multiple limit switches are used for positioning and control in all areas of mechanical and systems engineering. Inductive multiple limit switches are used for automation tasks in machines for the wood, textile and plastics industry, as well as for area monitoring for robotics. NO + NC function The NO + NC function incorporates both an NO function and an NC function. Associated circuit diagrams and wiring diagrams are given in the technical data. Due to their non-contact and thus wear-free principle of operation, inductive...
