This Siemens 3SE5 122-0BD02 mechanical limit switch comes as a complete unit with a 56 mm wide metal enclosure, one NO and one NC slow action contact, and a roller plunger actuator, and is suitable for use in plant and building automation systems. The slow action "break-before-make” operation ensures the normally-closed (NC) contact opens before the normally-open (NO) contact closes, with the actuator forcibly opening the NC contacts for use in safety circuits. The roller plunger actuator can be rotated around the enclosure axis in increments of 22.5 degrees and has a 13 mm high-grade steel roller. The actuator allows 3 mm of plunger travel past the switch activation point (overtravel) for greater tolerance when switching. This mechanical limit switch conforms to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) EN 50047 standard for dimensions and mechanical data and the EN 50041 standard for quality assurance, and is suitable for use in applications in which there is lateral actuation and relatively long overtravel.
