SWITCHES AND MAGNETIC INDUCTORS

Product catalog summary
Overview
FACTEM magnetic switches are engineered for the safe control of mobile equipment, particularly in heavy industry and materials handling. They ensure high reliability and efficiency, providing precise control in demanding environments.
Specifications
  • Actuation Gap: Up to 150 mm for large installation tolerances.
  • Precision: Triggering with a gap smaller than 2 mm for accurate load positioning.
  • Maintenance: No calibration needed, ensuring decades of maintenance-free operation.
  • Durability: Watertight casings suitable for long-term immersion and extreme conditions.
Operating Principle
FACTEM magnetic sensors use a magnetic switch and an inductor. The magnetic field actuates the electric contacts in the switch when the inductor is nearby, allowing ON/OFF signal transmission. The contacts' position depends on the switch type.
Applications
  • End of travel sensing
  • Position and motion sensing
  • Mobile load start/stop control
  • Control of sluice gates and offshore platform parts
  • Fluid level control in tanks
Design and Features
  • Robust Design: Housed in reinforced, watertight casings for protection against harsh environments.
  • Versatility: Installable vertically or horizontally, suitable for speeds up to 1200 m/min.
  • Inductors: Available in permanent magnet or coiled types, offering stability and insensitivity to vibrations.
Warranty and Support
  • Warranty: 10 years under standard conditions.
  • Engineering Support: Tailored solutions for specific project requirements.
  • Traceability: Laser engraved serial numbers for 100% traceability.

DETAILS AND CHARACTERISTIC DÉTAILS ET CHARACTÉRISTIQUES MAGNETIC SWITCHES INTERRUPTEURS The magnetic switch mechanism is simple and robust. It consists of a moving component held in equilibrium by a magnetic field. The moving component is mechanically joined to a set of electric contacts. The variations in the magnetic field due to the presence of an external inductor drive the moving component, causing it to change the position of the electric contacts. Le mécanisme de l’interrupteur magnétique est simple et robuste. Il se compose d’une pièce mobile en équilibre dans un champ magnétique. La...

SWITCHES AND MAGNETIC INDUCTORS-7

An inductor triggers the magnetic sensor. As it approaches, the contacts inside the magnetic switch are tripped. An inductor can be compared to a magnet. Depending on the type of inductor, its magnetic field can be permanent or variable. L’inducteur est le declencheur du detecteur magnetique. A son approche, les contacts de I’interrupteur magnetique vont basculer. L’inducteur peut etre compare a un aimant. Suivant le type d’inducteur, le champ magnetique de cet aimant peut etre permanent ou variable. FACTEM delivers a range of inductors designed for each switch model. Two types of inductor are...
