Vibration Switches - Class 531

Use: The Nelson Vibration Switch is a safety device designed for protecting rotating machinery, such as motors, generators, engines, pumps and fan, from abnormal levels of vibration. If the vibration level of such a device becomes excessive, the switch will trip, shutting down the device being protected. The switch operates on the principle of magnetic air gap, an increased air gap for low vibration and decreased air gap for high vibration levels. The sensitivity (air gap) can be adjusted by means of an adjustment knob and lock nut on the outside of the enclosure. Rotation of the knob changes the sensitivity of the switch. A satisfactory adjustment can be achieved by trial and error, locating the switch where it is subjected to maximum vibration. Features: Two SPDT micro switches. External sensitivity adjustment. Manual reset button. Standard "O-Ring provides watertight seal for NEMA 4 application. Material/Finishes: Copper-free cast aluminum enclosure. Grey epoxy power coat. Applicable Third Party Standards: UL Standard 698 Third Party Certification: Type TBSM UL Listed: E-75434
