Axiom AX Series Explosion-Proof Limit Switch
Brand: ValmetThe Axiom explosionproof platform, available in epoxy-coated anodized aluminum or stainless steel, will withstand your most challenging plant environments.
It features advanced position monitoring and integral pneumatic control.
Features- Universal burn out proof solenoid operates on less than 0.6 watts of power and standard version will accept 24 Vdc or 120 Vac, reducing stocking requirements
- Prefiltered pilot valve provides additional protection from contaminants
- Integral pneumatic valve operates on standard plant air, will cycle most actuators in less than two seconds, and is modularized for easy clean out if fouling occurs
- Standard 5-way, 2-position valve operates both single- and double-acting actuators and features a standard rebreather to feed instrument air into spring side of actuator to keep out corrosives
- Electronic components are sealed and potted inside function module to protect against residual moisture, vibration, and corrosives
- No bushings or shafts will wear out. Electronic module, with magnetically driven position sensor, is fully isolated from the outside environment. Actuator wear causing shaft “wobble” will not affect monitoring performance
