Position Switch PS-2

The Model PS-2 Position Switch is utilized to monitor the position of heavy moving machinery. The roller actuator arm on the switch is design to make contact with moving machinery and once it is moved from its normal position two micro switches are tripped. These switches can be used to send an alarm to the control system or operator. It notifies the control system or operator that the machinery has hit its limit of travel so steps can be taken to stop the machinery or start the process. It basically operates as a heavy duty limit switch. For example PS-2 switches can be used to notify the control system or operator of the position of a tripper car, gravity take up or stacker conveyor. The are unlimited possibilities to use this switch in your operation. The PS-2 Position Switch can be ordered in standard and CE approved versions.

Position Switch PS-2

The Model PS-2 Position Switch is utilized to monitor the position of heavy moving ma- chinery such as a gravity take-up or a tripper car. Once the roller actuator arm is moved from its normal position the two (2) micro switches are tripped. The micro switches can be used to send an alarm to the control system or operator telling it or them to either shut off or move the piece of heavy machinery.

The PS-2 Position Switch is commonly found on tripper floors to annunciate the position of the tripper car ensuring that the material is be- ing unloaded in the correct spot. They are al- so utilized as a limit switch to protect gravity take-ups on conventional conveyors from bot- toming out.

The PS-2 Position Switch is essentially a heavy duty limit switch and has a variety of uses in industrial environments. It assures safe operation and automation of the equip- ment in your plant.
