Versatile linear stages ease the design process
OEMs can specify load and movement profile parameters to automatically select, configure and program a linear stage and drive combination that best fits the application.
Software puts control system data on the record
Helps manufacturers automatically identify, gather and configure high-speed detailed data from any control system or human-machine interface software.
The new switch is rated at 5.5kW, AC-3 duty (400V) and is just 36mm wide.
It extends the existing line up of switches rated from 25 to100A.
As well as taking up less panel space, the 194E-16A provides a lower cost alternative to the 45mm wide, 25A isolator that is often over-rated for this type of load.
The standard IP20 rating for all live parts and terminals means the 194E-16A is finger safe, and enclosed versions are available for local motor isolation applications.
The IP65 rated enclosure has 16, 20 and 25mm metric glands for easy connectivity.
The 194E-16A is simple to install and can be front mounted with its single industry standard 22.5mm hole or base mounted on a DIN rail for door interlocked applications.
Suitable for use with a range of motor starters, the 194E-16A is available as a three-pole unit, with a switched neutral or with six poles for star-delta applications.
In common with other switches in the 194 series, it is compatible with the full range of Allen-Bradley 194E and 194L modular accessories, which includes neutral terminals, telescopic shafts and auxiliary contacts.
The new 194E-16A is CE marked; cUL approved and meets the international standards for operational safety and reliability.
With many motor starters in control panels being in the range up to 4kW, the new switch provides an opportunity for the machinery builder and OEM to significantly reduce costs and reduce panel space requirements. Request a free brochure from Rockwell Automation Anorad ...
