Cylinder Switch

Product catalog summary
Overview: Welker offers two types of magnetic cylinder switches: L3 (PNP) and L5 (NPN). These switches are designed for use in harsh environments and can be mounted on T-slot or tie rod cylinders. Both models are short circuit and overload protected, with IP 65/IP 67 ratings.
L3 Cylinder Switch: The L3 switch is a solid-state sensor that is largely immune to direct and alternating field welding applications, although some DC resistance applications may cause faults. It features a 4-wire, normally open PNP output with an M12 DC connector, magnetic sensitivity of 1.5 mT, and is resistant to weld spray. It is comparable to the World Switch in function and performance.
L5 Cylinder Switch: The L5 switch requires two single sensors per cylinder and features a 3-wire M12 DC connector with a normally open NPN output. It is not immune to weld fields.
Specifications: Both switches operate on 10-30V DC with a current consumption of less than 10 mA. They have a protection class of III, a voltage drop of less than 2.5 V, and a current rating of 100 mA. The L3 switch has a switching frequency of 9 Hz, while the L5 switch operates at 10000 Hz. Both have a magnetic sensitivity of 2.8 mT and are flush mountable with a PA (polyamide) housing and stainless steel fastening clamp.
Environmental and Mechanical Data: The switches operate in ambient temperatures ranging from -13°F to 185°F (-25°C to 85°C) and feature LED output status indication. They are equipped with a PUR cable and M12 connector with a turnable coupling ring.
Ordering Information: The L3 switch requires one dual sensor, while the L5 switch requires two single sensors. Replacement switch brackets can be ordered by contacting Welker with the unit part number or job number.
