Marine Limit Switch LX918 - High-Quality China Suppliers & Factory for AC/DC Applications

Introducing the LX918 series limit switches, a reliable solution for controlling circuit travel in various mechanisms. Designed for use in AC circuits operating at 50-60Hz with voltage ratings up to 500V, and DC applications up to 440V, these limit switches are essential for ensuring safe and efficient operation. In addition, they serve as effective limit switches for 5.5kW three-phase squirrel cage asynchronous motors, providing a reliable cut-off for the main source during two-phase operations. As trusted products from China, the LX918 series is manufactured by reputable suppliers and factories dedicated to quality and performance. Elevate your automation systems with our premium limit switches today!

    Advantage

    All products of the company can be customized for production according to user usage scenarios.

    Structure and Working Principle

    The shell of the limit switch is made of cast iron, which has good mechanical strength and good corrosion resistance. The performance of the material will not deteriorate under the environmental conditions of marine ships. The shell type is protective, and the protection level can reach IP67. Due to the action of the spring, it can automatically reset. Operating position: 5°→0°-45° The opening and closing of the limit switch contacts are determined by the cam position.

    The agreed heating current of the limit switch is 16A; the rated insulation voltage is 500V; the rated working voltage (Uc) and the rated working current (le) correspond to the technical data.

    The rated working voltage of the DC controlled 5.5Kw three-phase squirrel cage asynchronous motor is below 440V and the rated working current is 12A.

    Overall and Installation Dimensions

    Overall and installation dimensions of limit switch
    A contact group (2) is installed in the travel switch housing, and the moving contact and the stationary contact thereof drive the cam on the switch shaft (4) to open and close the contacts as the operating arm (3) rotates. The positioning of the operating arm is achieved by means of a positioning member (5), a positioning spring (6), a positioning lever (7) and a roller (8).
