Limit switches XCE and XCJ ranges Easy Series

Product catalog summary

General Overview
Limit switches in the XCE and XCJ ranges are designed for automated installations, offering advantages such as galvanic separation, high electrical durability, and electromagnetic interference immunity. They are suitable for detecting presence, passage, positioning, and end of travel.

Applications and Operation
These switches are used in various applications, including roller plunger, end plunger, rotary style head, and multidirectional head. They feature snap action and slow break contacts, with specific terminologies for linear and rotary movements.

Contact Ratings and Standards
The switches conform to IEC 60947-5-1 standards, with utilization categories for both AC and DC currents. They offer different contact ratings based on the application, ensuring compatibility with various electrical loads.

Setting Up and Mounting
Guidelines include recommendations for reverse mounting of operating levers and proper positioning of cable glands to avoid damage. Advice on the type of cam and mounting positions is provided to ensure optimal performance.

Protection Standards
European and American standards define the degrees of protection provided by enclosures. The IP code system indicates protection against solid objects and water ingress, while UL standards specify protection against environmental factors like dust and water.

Operating Heads Selection
Selection depends on factors such as direction of operation, operating speed, and risk of overtravel damage. Different styles like plunger, lever, rotary, and multidirectional are available, each with specific characteristics.

Product Specifications
The XCE range is suitable for medium duty applications, while the XCJ range is for light to medium duty. Both conform to IEC 60947-5-1 standards, with specific body dimensions, contact blocks, and degrees of protection. The XCE range offers options for linear, rotary, and multi-directional operators, with certifications and environmental resistance details provided.
