TELEMECANİQUE XCKD3927P16EX Limit Switch: Safe Position Detection for Hazardous Environments
Limit switches are used in industrial automation systems to precisely and reliably detect the position of moving parts (doors, conveyors, cylinders, etc.). The TELEMECANİQUE XCKD3927P16EX Limit Switch is a specialized sensor designed for safe use in hazardous environments (explosion-proof), particularly those containing explosive atmospheres , that fulfills this vital role.
What is Telemecanique XCKD3927P16EX and What Does It Do?
Telemecanique is part of the Schneider Electric brand and is recognized worldwide for its industrial automation equipment. The XCKD series is Telemecanique's standard range of metal-bodied limit switches.
The designation "P16EX" indicates that this model is an explosion-proof version and is certified in accordance with the ATEX directive.
Main Functions:
Position Detection: Detects whether a piece of machinery or equipment has reached a specific position (on, off, forward, backward).
Control and Safety Signal: Converts the detected position into an electrical signal and sends it to a control system (PLC, relay circuit). This signal is used to initiate the next operation or to initiate an emergency shutdown procedure.
Design for Hazardous Environments: Specially manufactured to eliminate the risk of explosion due to sparks or surface temperature in hazardous areas (such as Zone 1, Zone 21) where explosive gases or dusts are present.
Highlights and Benefits of XCKD3927P16EX:
Explosion-Proof Certification: Being ATEX certified (Zone 1, 2, 21, 22) guarantees that the motor can be used safely in explosive gas (II 2 G Ex db IIC T6 Gb) and dust (II 2 D Ex tb IIIC T85°C Db) environments.
Durable Metal Body: It has a robust body made of steel or aluminum alloy. This offers high durability against shocks and vibrations in harsh industrial environments.
Various Sensor Head: Adapts to different applications with different sensing heads such as roller, adjustable roller arm or piston.
High Protection Class: It has protection classes IP66 and IP67 . This means that the valve is highly protected against dust, moisture and water jets.
Easy Installation: Standardized installation dimensions and connection terminals facilitate integration into existing systems.
Wide Operating Range: It can operate safely in a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +70°C.
Various Contact Types: Generally, it offers contact options such as 1 Normally Open (NO) + 1 Normally Closed (NC).
Areas of Use:
Oil and Gas Industry: Refineries, natural gas plants, fuel filling stations.
Chemistry and Petrochemistry: Production, storage and transfer of solvents, dyes and flammable chemicals.
Food and Beverage Industry: Areas where flammable dust is present, such as flour mills and sugar factories.
Pharmaceutical Industry: Production areas where flammable vapors or dusts are present.
Paint and Varnish Facilities: Painting booths and solvent storage areas.
Industrial Automation: Position and limit control of machines in hazardous areas.
