RS PRO Air Switch Actuator Cable Push Button Mount Type 30.5mm x 30.5mm 2m Tube Length 317-061

RS PRO 317-061 Air Switch Actuator Cable is a robust push button actuator designed to operate electrical circuits remotely via air pressure, enhancing safety in hazardous or explosive environments. It is engineered for applications where electrical isolation is critical, such as battery charging rooms, laboratories, and garages that may contain explosive gases, vapours, or powders.

The actuator functions by compressing a bellows which directs air through a 2-meter length of 3mm bore black PVC tubing to a switch element, activating electrical contacts without direct electrical connection. This prevents arcing and improves operator safety by locating the switch and wiring outside hazardous zones.

The cable mount actuator features a panel cut-out dimension of 30.5mm by 30.5mm, with a 32mm depth behind the panel. Its mechanical design supports over 4 million operations, offering highly reliable performance for industrial environments.

Temperature variations can affect pressure within the sealed air system; therefore, tubing length and system volume are controlled to maintain optimal actuator performance across moderate to extreme temperature ranges.

This air switch actuator is ideal for industrial, laboratory, HVAC, automotive, and manufacturing applications requiring safe, non-electrical actuation methods in challenging environments.

The actuator operates by moving air through a cable to remotely control electrical circuits. Constructed to provide electrical isolation in explosive or wet environments. Includes 2 meters of 3mm bore black PVC tubing for operation.

Panel cut-out size is 30.5mm with a depth behind panel of 32mm. Mechanical life exceeds 4 million operations, ensuring durability. Suitable for use in battery charging rooms, laboratories, garages, and hazardous gas or powder environments.

The sealed system requires volume control of tubing to maintain performance across temperature ranges. Explore more from RS PRO in the Push Button Actuators category at EnvMart for high-quality, reliable electrical switch components suitable for demanding industrial applications.
