The Schneider XCKM506 is a robust and versatile limit switch that forms an essential component of industrial control systems. Designed to ensure precision and reliability, this switch is part of the Telemecanique Limit switches XC Standard series and is known for its standard format and multi-directional actuation capabilities.
Crafted with a durable metal body made from Zamak, the XCKM506 features a fixed body type and a multi-directional head that can be actuated by any moving part of the machinery. The switch is equipped with a spring return cat's whisker type of operator, which allows for multi-directional approach and actuation.
This limit switch comes with two poles and offers a contact configuration of 1NC+1NO (Normally Closed + Normally Open), ensuring a slow-break operation with a break-before-make contact sequence. The electrical connection is facilitated by screw-clamp terminals that can accommodate wires from 0.5 to 2.5 mm², providing a secure and reliable connection.
The XCKM506 is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments with an IP66 degree of protection, ensuring it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. Additionally, it boasts a high shock and vibration resistance, conforming to international standards EN/IEC 60068-2-27 and EN/IEC 60068-2-6, respectively.
With a mechanical durability of 10 million cycles and an electrical durability rated for 5 million cycles for various DC-13 inductive loads, this switch is built to last and maintain performance over time. It operates effectively within a temperature range of -25 to 70°C, making it suitable for a wide range of operating conditions.
The XCKM506's compact dimensions, with a width and height of 64 mm and a depth of 30 mm, make it easy to install in space-constrained areas. Its design also allows for easy access to the cable entries, which are available in different threading options to suit various installation requirements.
Overall, the Schneider XCKM506 limit switch is a reliable and efficient solution for industrial applications where accurate detection of the position or presence of objects is critical for the operational safety and effectiveness of machinery.
