Defective actuator return

The ultra long life limit switch Model 1LS-J7�� adopts countermeasures for the following five of these causes:

Defective actuator return

Defective seal (defective insulation)

Internal switch defects caused by defective seals, etc.

Defective internal switches

Not defective (but setup was faulty, due often to

low visibility of O.T. indicator)

These modifications have resulted in an ultra long life that could not be achieved with conventional limit switches.

Current limit switch Ultra long life switch

Notes:*1. Conventional limit switches are equipped with an operation pointer for indicating the appropriate O.T. (overtravel). However, as this pointer is difficult to see when actually

setting operation, generally setting is performed by an operation indicator lamp. For this reason, a phenomenon occurs where there is little margin in the initial setup during mounting with respect to O.P. (operating position), and the switch does not turn ON even though the dog arrives at the switch operation position and presses the lever. As a result of investigating, we found that a large number of normal limit switches were returned for repair for this reason. As a countermeasure, the O.T. indication was changed to an easy-to-view fluorescent type.

*2. Conventional terminal connection type and G1/2 conduit types where the cover is opened for wiring to the switch terminal are also available.

Cause of trouble Requirements Implemented countermeasures

Improvement of sliding action of operating head components,improvement of corrosion resistance, improvement of lubricant quality and quantity.

Moving parts on the operating head were SUS-nitrided and treated with special coating. Specially coated O-ring was used. Lubricant was changed.

Improvement of seal around the shaft. Improvement of switch body cover and conduit seal.

Shaft seal was double-sealed (V-ring + O-ring). Terminal connections with open covers were eliminated, and an internal loaded connector was used.*2

Two internal moving springs were used.Improvement of internal switch life.

Modification of setting indication function*1

The root of the shaft was capped with a rubber cap with indication slit, and fluorescent marking is visible through the slit.

Here is what's different about the Model 1LS-J7��

ULTRA LONG LIFE LIMIT SWITCHES

The following shows the results of investigation and analysis of the causes of trouble in products returned for repair to Azbil from the field.

The slide-action and corrosion resistance of moving parts inside the operating head were improved.

The seal of the moving head was improved by double-sealing the shaft with both V-ring and O-ring.

Slide-action was improved and corrosion when immersed in water was prevented by treating the operating shaft and other moving parts with SUS nitriding and special coating.Friction was reduced by a special coating on the shaft O-ring.Lubricant with higher fluidity and better resistance to extreme pressure was used.

The life of the moving parts was lengthened by the above modifications.

In this design, the shaft root is capped with a slitted

black rubber cap. When the lever is flipped down

and reaches the appropriate O.T. (overtravel), the

fluorescent marking can be seen through the slit.

This modification enables easy confirmation from a

2.2 Inserting and removing connectors

2.3 Cautions when bending cables

Before inserting or removing connectors, be sure to the turn the power OFF. When removing, hold the connector itself--do not pull by the cable.

The min imum bend rad ius (R) o f the cab le is 80 mm. A l low sufficient cable for bends.

If the screw of the mating part is made of resin, the threads can easily be damaged when the connector is first tightened. When assembling the connector, align the center of the cores, push in as far as possible, and then turn to tighten.Be sure to tighten fully by hand. The recommended tightening torque is 0.4 to 0.6 N·m. Use of a tightening tool may damage the connector. If the connector is not tightened firmly, IP67 protection may be lost, or the connector may come loose.

2.4 Installation of connector type switches

The leakage current when the limit switch is not operating is a maximum of 0.6 mA. The PC wi l l not malfunct ion due to dim lighting of the LED. Moreover, a fixed-current diode is built in to ensure a fixed LED brightness regardless of the power voltage.

When removing connectors to replace the switch or cable, wipe the connector and the surrounding area thoroughly to remove any water.After removing the connector, do not allow it to be immersed in chemica ls or powder , or to be dropped. I f the connector is

immersed in a fluid, allow it to fully dry before connecting again. If the connector is d ropped in powder , w ipe i t o f f comple te ly beforeconnecting again. Failure to observe these precautions may result in a short circuit or a failed connection.

IP67 protection does not assure complete waterproofing. Switch should not be in constant contact with water.Avoid use where external force is applied at all t imes on the connecting section of the connector.Do not use the body as a step or place heavy objects on top of it.

When general-purpose limit switches are used in locations subject to splashing by water, oil, dirt and dust, or chips, water or oil sometimes enters the switch from the conduit due to capillary action. For this reason, be sure to use a sealed connector compatible with the cable.When the screws in the head or covers are loosened to change the operating direction of the switch, or the relationship between switch operation and the indicator lamp (lamp ON during switch standby / during switch operation), tighten the screws to the recommended tightening torque to ensure a good seal.

Tighten each of the parts on the limit switch according to the appropriate tightening torques listed in the performance tables. Overtightening damages screws and other parts. On the other hand, insufficient tightening of screws lowers the effectiveness of the seal and reduces various performance characteristics.Do not leave or use covers and conduit parts open. Water, dirt, or dust may enter, which causing malfunction.Prevent impact to the lever body and head. Failure to do so might deform the actuator or cause defective switch return.Do not use silicone rubber electrical lead insulation, silicone adhesive or grease containing silicone. Doing so might result in defective electrical conductivity.

Do not perform wiring with the power ON. Doing so might cause electric shock, or the machine may start unexpectedly, causing an accident.Use crimp-type terminal lugs with covered insulation for electrical leads to prevent contact with covers and housings. If a crimp-type terminal lug contacts a cover, the cover may no longer shut or a ground fault may occur.Use sealed connectors (PA1 Series, etc. sold separately) or flexible tubing (PA3 Series) with IP67 or equivalent seal for conduits.Firmly tighten covers and conduits. If covers and conduits are not suff iciently t ightened, the seal wil l be impaired and switch performance will no longer be assured.

Do not apply excessive force (5 times O.F.) to the actuator beyond the total travel position. Doing so might damage the switch.Keep overtravel between 1/3 to 2/3 of the rated value. Small overtravel might cause the contacts to rattle due to vibration and impact, or may result in defective contact.

Do not use the product in an environment where the cover may directly come into contact with any strong volatile solvent. Do not use the switch in an environment where strong acid or alkali is directly splashed onto it.

Before use, thoroughly read the “Precautions for use” and “Precautions for handling” in the Technical Guide on pages D-101 to D-112 as well as the instruction manual and product specification for this switch.

Do not apply a lubricant to the sliding part of the actuator or any other component. Application of an inappropriate lubricant may degrade sliding performance or impair the protective structure.Remove any foreign substances adhering to the sliding part. Dust or any other foreign substance attached to the sliding part may cause a malfunction.Check the actual load.To increase reliability, confirm that the switch has no problems in actual use before using the switch.
