This whitepaper by Honeywell, presented by Enterprise Guide, offers a broad portfolio of limit and basic switches to help design engineers solve their technical challenges and select the right switch for their harsh industrial application.
In hazardous locations, switches need to operate in the presence of explosive fumes or gases, in dirty or dust- filled environments, in remote parts of the world, and around extremely harsh chemicals. To withstand harsh environments, switches must comply with explosion-proof switching requirements to ensure the safety of personnel, equipment, and the environment. MICRO SWITCH hazardous area switches provide protection through a sealed cavity, which incorporates mechanical threads that contain or cool flames, minimizing the risk to the surrounding environment.
