* Weather Resistance, Cold Resistance, and Heat Resistance
Silicon rubber is used to increase resistance to weather, cold, and heat. Silicon rubber, however, can generate silicon gas. (This can occur at room temperature, but
the amount of silicon gas generated increases at higher temperatures.) Silicon gas will react as a result of arc energy and form silicon oxide (SiO2). If silicon oxide
accumulates on the contacts, contact interference can occur and can interfere with the device. Before using a Switch, test it under actual application conditions
(including the environment and operating frequency) to confirm that no problems will occur in actual.

Selection Guide
With the WL Series, OMRON will combine the switch, Actuator, and wiring method required to build the ideal switch for
your application.

The WL Series consists of four basic types: General-purpose, En-


vironment-resistant, Spatter-prevention, and Long-life Switches.
WLCA2 Switches can be used for the most common applications.

• Even when the connector is assembled and set correctly, the end
of the cable and the inside of the Switch may come in contact. This
can lead to malfunction, leakage current, or fire, so be sure to
protect the end of the cable from splashes of oil or water and
corrosive gases.

Operating Environment
• Seal material may deteriorate if a Switch is used outdoor or where
subject to special cutting oils, solvents, or chemicals. Always
appraise performance under actual application conditions and set
suitable maintenance and replacement periods.
• Install Switches where they will not be directly subject to cutting
chips, dust, or dirt. The Actuator and Switch must also be protected
from the accumulation of cutting chips or sludge.
Not Suitable Suitable

• Constantly subjecting a Switch to vibration or shock can result in


wear, which can lead to contact interference with contacts,
operation failure, reduced durability, and other problems.
Excessive vibration or shock can lead to false contact operation or
damage. Install Switches in locations not subject to shock and
vibration and in orientations that will not produce resonance.
• The Switches have physical contacts. Using them in environments
containing silicon gas will result in the formation of silicon oxide
(SiO2) due to arc energy. If silicon oxide accumulates on the
contacts, contact interference can occur. If silicon oil, silicon filling
agents, silicon cables, or other silicon products are present near the
Switch, suppress arcing with contact protective circuits (surge
killers) or remove the source of silicon gas.

Operation of Fork Lever Locks


The fork lever lock is configured so that the dog pushes the lever to reverse the output and this reversed state is maintained even after
the dog continues on. If the dog then pushes the lever from the opposite direction, the lever will return to its original position.
