Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the PS series of position switches by Schmersal, emphasizing their application in automation, safety, and elevator technology. These switches are designed for secure and reliable position detection with a modular design.
Description
The PS series is versatile and robust, suitable for various industrial environments. It features a modular design that allows for numerous combinations, reducing storage needs and increasing availability. The switches comply with ISO 14119 and meet IP66 and IP67 protection standards.
Design and Functionality
The switches are equipped with positive opening normally-closed contacts per IEC 60947-5-1, available in snap and slow action. They can achieve safety levels up to PL d with one switch and PL e with two switches according to ISO 13849-1. The modular design supports flexible solutions with up to three contacts.
Order Information
The PS116, PS2xx, and PS3xx series can be ordered as complete devices or modular kits. The document provides ordering examples and details on various actuator elements and switching elements available.
Standardized Construction and Features
The switches feature a folding latching cover for reduced assembly times and 45° rotated connection terminals for simplified connections. The symmetrical design allows for left and right-hand versions.
Overview of the Series
The document provides a detailed overview of the PS series, including key features, technical specifications, and safety classifications. It highlights the robust design, simplified connections, and compliance with EN 50047 and EN 50041 standards.
Actuator Heads
Various actuator heads are described, including plungers and roller levers, with specifications on positive break force and actuating speed. The document includes ordering data for the modular construction kit and switch travel diagrams.
Conclusion
The PS series by Schmersal offers a comprehensive solution for position detection and monitoring, focusing on flexibility, reliability, and compliance with industry standards.
Specifications
  • Actuator Types: Includes thermoplastic and metal levers with plastic rollers, plunger types, and angle roller levers.
  • Positive Break Force: All actuators have a positive break force greater than 40 N or 50 N, depending on the type.
  • Actuating Speed: Snap action ranges from a minimum of 10 mm/min to a maximum of 1 m/s, while slow action ranges from 60 mm/min to 1 m/s.
Ordering Information
  • Each actuator type has a specific type designation and ordering code, such as PS-S200, PS-R200, etc.
  • Ordering codes are provided for each configuration, facilitating easy procurement.
Switch Travel Diagrams
  • Diagrams illustrate the switch travel for snap and slow actions, detailing the contact positions for NO and NC contacts.
  • Includes configurations for 1 NO / 1 NC with overlapping and 2 NC with staggered contacts.
Actuator Heads
  • Descriptions include thermoplastic and metal options, with some levers adjustable in 15° steps or 2 mm increments.
  • Specific actuator types are compliant with EN 50047 and EN 50041 standards.
Preferred Types and Ordering Details
  • Detailed tables provide information on preferred types, switching systems, and material numbers for easy reference.
  • Includes both connector plug and connecting cable options for various configurations.
