Product Description:

The Danaher EA700-50000 is a reliable switching solution for automation environments that require precise mechanical actuation and dependable signal control. Designed to interface between moving machinery components and electrical circuits, the switch operates by mechanically detecting position or movement and converting it into a controlled electrical response. This ensures accurate system feedback and consistent operation of automated processes. Its robust design and performance stability make it well-suited for use in industrial applications where mechanical-to-electrical conversion is essential for maintaining workflow efficiency.

The EA700-50000 switch is equipped with silver alloy butt contacts, which are designed to ensure efficient electrical conductivity. Silver alloy is highly conductive and resistant to corrosion, which reduces contact resistance and minimizes voltage drop across the connection. The butt-style configuration ensures a solid, face-to-face connection between contact points, enhancing durability and minimizing wear caused by repeated operation. This switch features a snap-lock mechanism with a quick make and break action, allowing for immediate and decisive switching. This mechanism ensures that electrical contacts rapidly transition between open and closed states. This results in reduced contact wear, which improves the overall lifespan and reliability of the switch.

This switch is engineered to function effectively at a power factor range of 75–100%, ensuring compatibility with highly efficient electrical loads. It can handle loads that draw current nearly in phase with voltage, reducing energy loss and optimizing performance in AC-powered systems. The switch requires an operating torque of 30 in-lb, minimizing the chances of accidental or false triggering due to minor vibrations or light mechanical forces. This increases reliability and control precision in robust industrial machinery. The switch is optimized for durability and operates optimally in conditions of up to 90°C.
