803-B6X

The Allen-Bradley 803-B6X is a Style B rotating cam limit switch that has 6 circuits and a double shaft extension available. It also has an adjustable internal dwell time and timing that can be configured when the cam switch is not in motion, and it has a spring-loaded cam-roller assembly that is mounted to the contact base and this cam switch has the capacity to rotate well in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Standard features of Style B switches that are present on the 803-B6X Style B rotating cam limit switch are 10 Amp. snap action N. O. (normally open) and N. C. (normally closed) contacts, 150 RPM of maximum shaft speed, and a minimum cam duration of 14 degrees and a maximum cam duration of 346 degrees. It has a Type 1 enclosure rating and it can be mounted on any plane.

Typically used with machines whose operation cycles are repetitive and have their motion correlated with the switch’s shaft rotation, the 803-B6X switch is heavy-duty and has a long-life expectancy even at full power. It needs little maintenance if it is used properly. The typical shaft torques of this switch are 3 pounds on an inch when the cam roller rides on the lobe, 7 pounds on an inch when the cam roller rides up the cam ramp, and 0.5 pounds on an inch with the cam roller in the valley. It also has a storage temperature of -30 to 93 degrees Celsius and an operating temperature of -30 to 66  degrees Celsius. The 803-B6X switch weighs approximately 31 pounds or 14.1 kilograms.
