Construction - Completely fabricated
from non-corrosive materials, its bronze
housing and high quality stainless steel
shaft insure against external damage to
the switch from salt spray corrosive
elements. Sealing against leakage is
Limit Switches
achieved through the use of high quality
gaskets on machined surfaces and “O”
ring protection, plus close tolerance
between the shaft and bushing.
Durability - All internal components are
of high grade stainless steel or copper
alloy, chrome plated when required, to
protect against bearing surface wear and
to provide millions of operations.
Contacts
Both the EA780 and EA790 series
switches have heavy duty electrical
contacts. The EA780 switches have
sliding, double-break type contacts built
to meet the high shock requirements
outlined in MIL-S-901.
EA790 switches have heavy duty,
double-break, butt type contacts.
Contacts - EA780 switches contain
sliding contact arrangements which wipe
clean with each operation.
EA790 switches contain butt-style
contacts.
Both series available with operation
direction CW, CCW or CW/CCW.
Levers - A variety of corrosion resistant
levers are available to meet specific
actuating requirements.
NOTE: Levers must be ordered as
separate items. See Operating Levers
Section.
