Description
TER FOX ATEX Explosion proof rotary limit switch used to control and measure the movement of industrial machines in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.
FEATURES:
- It consists of a gear motor that transfers movement to the cams and to the other movement detection devices through a primary input reduction stage (worm gear and helical toothed gear) and one or more secondary output stages (pairs of straight toothed gears)
- Accurate adjustment of cams by means of screws
- Positive opening NC contacts for safety functions
- Mechanical life of switches: up to 10 million operations
- IP protection degree: Fox AEX classified IP65/IP69 or IP65/IP69K (in the version with the stainless steel cage)
- Extreme temperature resistance : From -25°C to +75°C.
- Featuring polyamide 66 (PA66) housing and EPM gasket, ensuring an IP65/IP69 degree of protection against dust
- Suitable for use in potentially explosive environments (Category II 3D (Zone 22)) in the version with the stainless steel cage and in the version without the cage with protection at the customer’s responsibility
- I features transmission and gear driving shafts made of stainless steel AISI 430F or AISI 303, worm gear transmission shaft rotating on ball bearings, self-lubricating technopolymer gears and driving bushes, technopolymer base and cover
- All materials and components used are wear resistant and guarantee protection of the unit against water and dust
TER has acquired decades of experience in designing and manufacturing control stations, providing now four series of pendant control stations or wall-mounted control stations, for auxiliary and direct control, used to command and control industrial machinery. control stations are used in particular in industrial and construction lifting plants to control gantry cranes, track cranes, jib cranes, wall-mounted jib cranes, tower cranes and winches for construction sites; in the automation industry to command and control systems to manage machines and processes, thus reducing the need for human intervention; in stage technology to control the equipment used to move stage sets, curtains etc.; in the waste disposal industry to control the movement of machines and equipment.
TER range of control stations includes three series of pushbutton stations for auxiliary control (two pendant control stations and one wall-mounted control station) and one series of pushbutton stations foe direct control, with 1 to 15 actuators depending on the unit requested.
Each project has been developed on the basis of specifications such as technicism, anthropomorphism, futurism and ergonomics to give the control stations an innovative design, where each graphic element is linked to a specific technical function. Dimensions and shapes are the result of careful analysis of the product ergonomic aspects, aimed at achieving a graphic style that blends in with modern industrial environments, making TER control stations extremely handy, user friendly and easy to integrate in the machine. Compact dimensions and antislip grooves on the cases make it easy to handle the control stations under any working conditions.
Each series of control stations has specific features which drastically reduce time and costs for installation and maintenance down time.
TER’s aim is to simplify the control of the machines equipped with its devices, designing reliable, ergonomic and intuitive safety products, capable of predicting the demands of the market and becoming the industry benchmark.
At the basis of this company mission is the will to establish a connection between market and company, by giving an increasingly central role to the sales department, seen as a continuous relationship between TER and its customers.
