PRECISION & HEAVY DUTY LIMIT SWITCHES

Heavy Duty Limit Switches

BCH Limit Switches are designed with one aim only to help you produce better...faster... with less
production down time. These limit switches will keep operating in highly contaminated
atmospheres and extremely high shock and vibration conditions. Every limit switch that comes off
the Bhartia Cutler-Hammer assembly line passes through rigid quality tests before it reaches you
...

Operating Head
Type NL Limit Switches are available with a variety of operating heads to meet diverse applications.

Rotary lever operating heads

These heads, which are of the spring return variety, with rotary shafts, can be readily changed on the job to operate
clockwise, counter clockwise or in both directions. Operating levers may be rotated and locked on the rotary shaft
in any one position, through 3600. The operating head is adjustable in four 900 apart positions. The levers are
provided with 19mm dia. metal rollers. Two types of roller lever operators, with a fixed length of 38mm and
76.2mm, are available. A third type had an adjustable length between 32mm and 82.5mm.

Top push operating heads

These are available in two designs. One has an adjustable push button, the length of which can be adjusted up
to 8 mm. The second type has a metal roller of 11.1mm diameter.

Side push operating head

The head is also available with an adjustable push button alternatively a metal roller of 11.1mm dia. These are
designed for small space and low travel application where the actuator travel is perpendicular to the switch.

Cat whisker operating head (Nylon & Steel Rod)

This head has been designed for applications where extremely low operating force is available. The operator
consists of a nylon covered wire/steel rod, which is a spring return switch moving the extension in any direction
from the centre operates the contacts.

Contact block
The contact mechanism is enclosed in a phenolic moulding with a transparent thermoplastic front cover. The
complete unit can be removed and released without the risk of changing the operating characteristic of the limit
switch.
The single pole double throw, twin break silver contacts (normally open / normally closed change over)
provide quick make, quick break action and full contact pressure at all times. There is no point of zero
contact pressure - no matter how slowly the switch is operated.

Both the normally open and normally closed contacts can be used simultaneously, provided they are connected
on the same polarity.
The IP 67 degree conformity makes it more suitable for all adverse applications.

Precision Limit Switches

Precision Limit Switches are designed for industrial applications. These are small in size, reliable in operation,
have exceptionally long life and are accurate. The wide variety of switch operating mechanisms coupled with the
choice of either single pole 1NO + 1NC or double pole 2NO + 2NC changeover contacts permit easy selection
and application for many needs.

Contact Mechanism Types Of Operators

Quick make & quick break action.
Low bounce mechanisms.
Long life on high load applications.
Serrated-silver stationary contacts, definite wiping
action and high contact pressure assure reliability
on dry circuit applications.
Semi dust-tight moulded, phenolic case of great
physical strength and high arc-resisting capacity.
Versatile
Push Button Plunger
These are designed for one hole panel mounting. The
plunger mechanism is of oil-tight construction and
prevents any ingress of oil, including coolant. These
operations are designed for an in-line actuating motion
with controlled over-travel.
Top Push Roller Plunger
Operators are designed for one hole mounting and are
of oil-tight construction. The roller plunger comes
assembled either in line with the length of the contact
block or at right angles to it. This allows the roller to
accept cam or slide operation from any of the four
directions.
