S970 Variants for extreme conditions

Schaltbau has developed special variants for use in
Applications
S970 switches are typically used with systems and

Better harsh environments. The S970 Series has a ruggedized

housing made from polyetherimide (PEI) that stands for
components that require a high degree of safety and
reliability, such as
improved resistance to: ●● Limit switches for machine, door and plant control
Resistance to ●● temperatures from -55 °C to +150 °C* systems
 temperature ●● chemicals (e.g. acids and alkalis) ●● Control switches for the driver‘s desk of rail vehicles or
 chemicals ●● impact (PEI 50% more resistant than PC) crane consoles
The amber, transparent switches are ideally suited for ap- ●● Switching elements for automation
 impact
plications where impact forces are high and/or frequent ●● Safety limit switches for control systems and plant
as well as for use in products that are exposed to strong controls
chemicals or extremes of temperature.
The S9xx Series switches have the same design, dimen-
sions and technical features as the switches of the
standard S8xx series, allowing for easy replacement
and upgrade from a standard switch without additional
implementation effort.

Mounting and safety instructions, environmental conditions   Series S870/S970

Mounting instructions: Non-permissible environmental conditions:

●● Snap-action switches should be mounted by qualified professional ●● Cleaning agents, adhesives, solvents, or screw-retaining varnish must

When actuated the actuator should travel beyond the operating posi-
tion for at least 50% of the predefined overtravel, all the way to the total

●● Avoid tilting the screw when mounting to prevent mechanical tension
on the housing.
●● To ensure the proper function of the positive opening operation it is
necessary to depress the plunger to the end of the positive opening
travel.
●● To prevent mechanical destruction of the switch, make sure that actua-
tion of the switch does not exceed the specified total travel position.
Do not use the switch as a mechanical end stop.
●● High-impact actuation of the switch can have a negative effect on its
mechanical life.
●● When securing stripped wire ends in the terminal clamp, make sure the
wire insulation is flush with the clamp.
●● Prevent a transfer of forces to the switch terminals, and ensure that
connected leads have a functioning strain relief.
