Honeywell Technologies BX Series Side Rotary Limit Switch Aluminium Housing IP67 600V AC 10A

Honeywell Technologies BXA3K limit switch from the BX series is built for industrial and hazardous area applications requiring precise position sensing. This side rotary limit switch features a robust aluminium housing with IP67 ingress protection, ensuring excellent resistance to dust and water ingress for reliable field performance.

The switch uses single-pole double-throw (SPDT) snap-action contacts rated for 10A switching current, delivering rapid and dependable electrical switching behavior. It is capable of handling switching voltages up to 600V AC and 250V DC, making it versatile for various control circuit requirements.

With an operating temperature range spanning from -40 °C to 70 °C, the BXA3K model is suitable for demanding environments including manufacturing lines, conveyor systems, and automated machinery. The side rotary actuator requires an operating force of 0.45 Nm, providing consistent and predictable mechanical actuation.

The device supports conduit entries from 0.5 to 14 NPT, allowing flexible and secure wiring options. Side mounting orientation is optimized for convenient integration into control panels and machinery assemblies.

This limit switch holds approvals from recognized certification bodies such as ATEX for hazardous area use, as well as RoHS, NEPSI, EAC, CSA, CE, and UL compliance, validating its suitability for regulated industrial and electrical installations.

Typical applications include conveyor end-of-travel sensing, valve position monitoring in hazardous environments, interlock functions with motor starters, and machine tool limit detection within automated production lines.

Features an aluminium housing with IP67 ingress protection for durable and sealed operation. 1 NC/1 NO snap-action contacts rated for 10A switching current ensure reliable switching performance. Side rotary actuator requiring 0.45 Nm force provides precise actuation.
