Honeywell Sensing and Control MICRO SWITCH Premium Large Snap-Action Switches

MICRO SWITCH™ premium large snap-action series are designed for repeatability and enhanced life. These series of precision switches feature application-specific characteristics. From double-break circuitry to handling very high loads, MICRO SWITCH™ premium large snap-action series are suitable for a variety of applications.

DT Series switches consist of two independent single-pole double throw circuits in one housing actuated by one actuator. The terminals are separated by a non-conductive shield to reduce shorting.

MT Series magnetic blow-out switches are designed to switch high-capacity (125 Vdc/250 Vdc) systems. An integral magnet around the contact gap protects the contacts by deflecting the arc. Vents between the cover and housing allow the hot gas to escape.

Easy to gang mount, MN Series twin-break circuit type switches are for use with limit or control mechanisms on machine tools, presses, or other industrial equipment.

MICRO SWITCH™ TB Series miniature double-break basic switches are basic double-break units that offer a means of controlling isolated circuits. Each circuit may be driven by an independent voltage source.

MICRO SWITCH™ BZ/BA/BM/BE Series are often used for precision on/off applications, as well as end of limit, presence/absence, and manual operator interface functions. Their engineering design meets most applications needs. Configuration options with BM, BA and BE switches give a broader range of operating and interface characteristics.

The MICRO SWITCH™ 6AS Series consists of two large premium BZ/BA/BM/BE snap-action switches ganged together and actuated by a single actuator. Field adjustable operating point is an option for one or both switches.

Honeywell Sensing GSX Series Explosion-Proof Safety Switches

Honeywell (NYSE: HON) introduces its MICRO SWITCH™ GSX Series Explosion-Proof Safety Switch. The GSX Series combines world-class MICRO SWITCH™ global limit safety product (GSS) with an explosion-proof housing from Honeywell’s LSX and BX product lines. The GSX Series Safety Switch platform provides over 10,000 actuator and switching option combinations and can be applied to machine safety in hydrocarbon refining, chemical process, grain elevators, other agricultural or food processing equipment.

The GSX switch can be applied to a gate, cage or access panel that is positioned as hard guarding to a dangerous machine so that, when opened, the machine stops. Explosion-proof safety switches are required on machinery found in hazardous locations, where hazardous gasses or dusts could cause an explosion. The positive break mechanism will ensure that even welded contacts will open and the machine will stop in an emergency. The positive break feature is designed to provide a safe failure mode, ensuring the machine will not start, and therefore supporting a safer working environment.

Honeywell Sensing/Micro Switch GKME Dual Connection Safety Switches

Honeywell Sensing and Control introduces the MICRO SWITCH™ GKME-series Dual Connection Safety Switch. This product line extension of the GKM series includes two pre-assembled connectors allowing for daisychain connection from switch to switch. The ease of installing GKME switches may reduce wiring time up to fifty percent, resulting in significant savings for the customer.

The GKME is designed to enhance machine safety – the removal of any switch indicates that a door is open and breaks the electrical safety chain. The design facilitates planned and unplanned maintenance by allowing modules of the machine to be easily removed and replaced, followed by plug and play of the safety switch.

Potential applications include packaging and assembly equipment; textile and printing machinery.
