Wireless Position Switch

The compact Wireless Cube RF 10 position switch works without power supply and signal transmission cables, utilizing an industry-standard radio protocol for communication. The wireless cube is so compact that it even fits into the very cramped surroundings of machines and plants. The low energy requirement of the wireless transmission facilitates a very long battery lifetime. And thanks to ingress protection class IP 65, the RF 10 sends reliable signals even in a dusty environment – e.g. as a limit or position switch in plants for bulk handling. The actuator of the switching device is a spring rod acting on a microswitch. The spring rod completes only a short switch travel and the actuation force is also small. A non-contact version of the radio switch is available. Its mechanical life is more than 1 million switching cycles and even with a very high switching frequency the compact device is in its element: it is able to carry out up to 1,800 switching cycles per hour. For signal evaluation different radio receiving units for installation in a switch cabinet are available.
