Product Description:

The EA700-10100 limit switch is created by Danaher for precise control applications that need accurate angle positioning and reliable switching performance. The lever mechanism and zinc housing make it long-lasting across its working range.

The EA700-10100 limit switch has a NEMA-rated housing that meets the standards for NEMA 1, NEMA 4, and NEMA 13. The front shaft design allows users to operate the switch in both directions. Standard fastening plates come in two sizes, wide and long. With Form Z butt contacts, the contact design has one normally open contact and one normally closed contact. At an 18-degree travel angle, the switch turns on, and at 14 degrees, it restarts. The recommended angle of travel is 30 degrees, while the overall angle of travel is 90 degrees. The switch requires 15 inch-pounds of force to function properly. In this standard setup, wire leads are not included. Due to its large overtravel, the switch can support system tolerances without losing data. Zinc is used to make the housing, which assures structural stability in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +90°C. This design works with systems that need very accurate trip and reset angles. It's designed for systems that need accurate mechanical motion and long-lasting switching.

The EA700-10100 limit switch's mounting hole pattern includes four holes with diameters of 0.266"/0.255". The switch measures 6.16 inches tall, 2.81 inches wide, and 2.62 inches deep. Using these criteria facilitates integration in systems with limited space. The EA700 limit switch is suitable for applications that require reliable rotary motion input. This limit switch works effectively in systems that require precise monitoring and control of mechanical travel angles. These features are all made to help the system work well and be easily integrated into control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about EA700-10100:

Q: Does EA700-10100 include generous overtravel capability?

A: Yes, the switch includes generous overtravel that protects the internal components. It also ensures continued functionality beyond the trip point.

Q: Why does EA700-10100 use a zinc housing material?

A: Zinc housing provides mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. It maintains enclosure integrity across varying operating temperatures and environments.

Q: How does EA700-10100 achieve consistent contact switching?

A: It uses Form Z butt contacts with a 1 N.O. - 1 N.C. configuration. This ensures reliable electrical response during actuation.

Q: Do EA700-10100 mounting options support system flexibility?

A: Yes, the standard, wide, and long mounting options enable flexible installation. It allows compatibility with various mechanical setups.

Q: Why does EA700-10100 have 15 in-lbs torque?

A: The 15 in-lbs torque ensures a stable actuation force. It prevents misalignment and maintains precise angular response during operations.
