Moeller Control Indication Mechanical position switches
Overview
Position switches for every application
Position switches are the connection element between machine and control. Moeller is one of the world-wide pioneers in the area of position switches.
The new, innovative "LS-Titan" further perfects a very good product with :
- Modullar design
- Maintenance-free and vibration protected cage-clamp termination's
- Freely combinable switching contacts with various, exchangeable operating heads
The new position switches are quickly installed, highly flexible and safe. The right product is available for every application: In the robust metal enclosure (LSM) for harsh applications or in the totally insulated plastic version (LS) without earthing requirement.
The new "LS-Titan®" position switch offers a maximum in modularity and flexibility: Two full device ranges, each provided with a plastic or metal enclosure are available to the customer. All devices are actuated mechanically and are particularly suitable for use in safety-relevant circuits intended for protection of personnel and machines.
The coloured marking of the enclosure and operating heads in the "yellow" signalling colour make it unmistakably clear that you are dealing with a safety component. “LS-Titan®” conforms with category 3 of the Machine directive EN 954-1. The mechanically made contacts act positively: All break contacts have a positive opening function conform to IEC/EN 60947-5-1.
Thus, they can be used in circuits intended for safety purposes.
Combination with RMQ-Titan
Control circuit devices from the RMQ-Titan® range can be combined with the LS-Titan® switches – an innovation: Pushbuttons, mushroom actuators, selector switches, keyswitch actuators and emergency-stop actuators can be snapped onto every position switch as operating heads.
The entire front and rear sides of the unit have at least IP 66 enhanced degree of protection. This solution opens a whole new range of applications. With the combination of position switch and control circuit device, there results for the first time a control device which possesses a defined snap-action operating behaviour. Operation is initiated by the control circuit device, the abrupt switch change acts on the contact system of the position switch.
The complete unit has very compact external dimensions ensuring space availability for it in any machine or system.
Mounting
The operating heads can be fitted in all four directions (4 x 90°) and quickly and easily installed with a bayonet catch.
The particular mounting advantage: After the position switch has been fitted, the operating head can be correctly adjusted to suit the required direction of motion without problems
LS-Titan : heavy duty-totally insulated or metal
The fuly insulated plastic housing conforms to protection class II. Thus, they are simple to install and do not require a protective earth terminal. This saves wiring time and precious tooling time.
Die-cast metal enclosures (protection class I) are available for applications in harsh operation environments. Enclosures of this nature are particularly suitable for welding systems, as they are resistant to airborne sparks.
All basic units have standardized sizes and are conform to the EN 50047 standard. The operating heads can be rotated through 4 x 90 degrees and can be combined with every basic unit. Equipped with double-break contacts, they are also suitable for use in the configuration of redundant safety circuits.
The termination's are equipped with maintenance-free and vibration protected cage-clamp termination's. The largest terminal capacity allows the connection of solid and flexible connection cables with conductor cross-sections from 0.08 to 2.5 mm².
