14CE3-3K Features
This limit switch features a versatile SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration, allowing it to control two different circuits or provide both NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed) outputs. With a roller plunger actuator, it delivers precise actuation at a specific operating position of 1.122" (28.5mm), with pretravel of 1.8mm, differential travel of just 0.1mm, and overtravel up to 3.0mm. The switch boasts a long mechanical life of 10,000,000 cycles, ensuring minimal maintenance and long-term reliability. Its on-momentary (on-mom) actuation requires an operating force of 2300gf and a release force of 450gf, offering positive tactile feedback. The unit is protected by an IP66 rating, which makes it dust-tight and resistant to powerful water jets, ideal for harsh industrial conditions. The 3-meter cable lead allows flexible installation. Chassis mounting makes mechanical integration straightforward.
