To improve heat resistance, silicone rubber is
used for rubber parts and for the built-in
switch.
The operating temperature range is +5°C to
120°C.
To improve low temperature resistance, silicone rubber is used.
The operating temperature range is –40°C to
40°C.
Diecast parts such as the switch box are
made of corrosion-proof aluminum. Rubbersealing parts are made of fluorine rubber and
exposed nuts and screws are made of stainless steel. These all aid in resisting oil, chemicals and adverse weather conditions.
---Rotary shafts are made of unquenched (i.e.,
untreated) stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance. Exposed nuts and screws
are made of stainless steel and rubber sealing parts of silicone rubber. These factors all
combine to create a product which is resistant
to temperature changes and adverse weather
conditions.

■ List of Models
General-purpose Models
These Limit Switches are two-circuit double-break switches housed in rugged diecast, thus making it an oil-tight, waterproof and dustproof construction (complies with IP67).
In addition to the standard models, microload models are also available.
A wide range of actuators with a range of functions are available; rotating lever, plunger, flexible rod etc.
The rubber material in the standard models is designed to be resistant to water and most oils.
