Yaskawa's Bestact™ dustproof and flood-tight proximity switches offer industry-compatible mounting capability with IP52-IP68 (~NEMA 2-6) enclosure ratings. These switches utilize Yaskawa's world-renowned Bestact™ logic and inductive rated (0.5 & 0.125HP) reed switches. General locations up to 510°F (265°C) and sensing distances up to 4.33" (110mm) are possible. They do not need a DC power supply or snubber/varistor protective devices and do not employ complicated amplifying circuitry that is needed for photo-electric/inductive proximity switches. They are ideal for corrosive, dirty, extreme temperature and gaseous Class I, Division 2 hazardous location environments where failure is not tolerated and reduced maintenance costs are of the utmost importance. Two-line wiring and latching capability are other features that are offered.
- Completely sealed construction makes this switch best suited for adverse environments
- Direct control of loads of even 100VDC or greater, requiring no power supply or amplifying relay
- No protective R-C snubber/surge circuitry is required for long wiring distances or inductive loads
- Eliminates the possibility of erroneous operation and breakdown due to noise or surge
- The contactless design assures a long service life and maintenance-free operation
- Economical proximity switches
