EUCHNER – More than safety.

Quality – made by EUCHNER

More than safety.Around the world – the Swabianspecialists in motion sequencecontrol for mechanical and sys-tems engineering.

EUCHNER’s history began in 1940 withthe establishment of an engineeringoffice by Emil Euchner. Since thattime, EUCHNER has been involved inthe design and development of switch-gear for controlling a wide variety ofmotion sequences in mechanical andsystems engineering. In 1953, EmilEuchner founded EUCHNER + Co., amilestone in the company’s history. In1952, he developed the first multiplelimit switch – to this day a symbol ofthe enterprising spirit of this family-owned company.

Automation – Safety – ManMachine

Today, our products range fromelectromechanical and electroniccomponents to complex system solu-tions. With this wide range of productswe can provide the necessary tech-nologies to offer the right solution forspecial requirements – regardless ofwhether these relate to reliable andprecise positioning or to componentsand systems for safety engineering inthe automation sector.EUCHNER products are sold through aworld-wide sales network of compe-tent partners. With our closeness tothe customer and the guarantee ofreliable solutions throughout theglobe, we enjoy the confidence of cus-tomers all over the world.

Emil Euchner, the company’s founder andinventor of the multiple

limit switch, circa 1928.

Precision Multiple Limit Switches

Application

EUCHNER precision multiple limit switches are used for control-ling and positioning in all areas of mechanical and systems engi-neering and for solving automation tasks.

The main advantages of these highly accurate and reliablepositioning devices are:

� Minimum space requirements due to compact design� Low-cost connection through the use of a common control

cable� Easy access to all switch stations for test and service

purposes� Easy installation

A range of housing versions, including DIN versions, is availableto suit the full spectrum of application fields. A high standard ofquality is guaranteed in every installation position by the degreeof protection IP 67.

Function

Precision multiple limit switches possess several switching ele-ments arranged in a row. The spacing between the individualswitching positions of 12 mm and 16 mm is standardized inaccordance with DIN 43697. The product range is completedwith a particularly compact, space-saving version with a spa-cing of 8 mm.The switching elements are actuated by means of plungers.This is achieved with trip dogs in accordance with DIN 69 639,which are mounted with an interference fit in trip rails accor-ding to DIN 69 638 (see separate catalogue Trip Dogs and TripRails).

Design

Depending on the technical requirements in terms of operatingpoint accuracy and approach speed, four functionally differenttypes of plunger (chisel, roller, ball and dome plungers) are used.Depending on the plunger type, the reproducible operating pointaccuracy is ± 0.002 mm and the maximum approach speed is120 m/min.The precision multiple limit switches can be assembled with snap-action and safety switching elements, or also in combinationwith inductive switching elements. The mechanical life of theswitching elements amounts to 30 x 106 mechanical switchingcycles.EUCHNER uses the high-quality and proven acrylonitrile-butadienerubber (NBR) for all seals and sealed areas. This material isresistant to oils, greases, fuels, hydraulic fluids and most knowncooling lubricants. Moreover, NBR possesses high mechanicalrigidity over a wide temperature range and is therefore ideal forthe highly stressed diaphragm seal, which separates the plungercompartment and the interior of the switch.The material used for the diaphragm seal is a decisive criterionfor the quality, mechanical life and precision of EUCHNERprecision multiple limit switches. The same material is used forthe cover seal and the cable entry.A series with an exterior diaphragm which is designed to resistthe effect of resinous cooling lubricants is also available. Thisversion prevents the plungers sticking.A further variant with an interchangeable plunger guide allows aquick and easy plunger replacement without any re-adjustmentof the multiple limit switch. This keeps production downtimes asshort as possible.

Exterior diaphragm

Interchangeable plunger guide

A series with an exterior diaphragm which is designed to resistthe effect of resinous cooling lubricants is also available.The exterior diaphragm provides additional sealing of the plungeroutside the housing.

The plunger guides in the housing are thus reliably protectedfrom the penetration of the cooling lubricant. Plunger sticking isprevented and it is not necessary to replace the switch or plunger.For technical data on this series see pages 20 and 21.

The series RGCS with its interchangeable plunger guide allowsquick and easy plunger replacement without any new adjustmentof the multiple limit switch. This keeps production downtimes asshort as possible.In case of damage or wear to the plunger, e.g. when processingabrasive materials, and also when the plunger has becomecompletely stuck due to resinous cooling lubricants, it is onlynecessary to replace the plunger guide and plungers on thesemultiple limit switches.

The complete plunger guide is dismantled from the plunger side.The plungers can be replaced easily and quickly by the operatorwithout special tools. Specialist knowledge is not required. It isnot necessary to make changes to the machine installation orperform time-consuming re-adjustment of the system.In this way, repair costs are reduced and the machine downtimesare minimized. For technical data on this series see pages 22and 23.

General

Plungers for precision multiple limit switches are made of stain-less steel and are extremely accurate.In conjunction with a specially surface-treated plunger guide, theextremely reliable and maintenance-free operation extends evenbeyond the guaranteed mechanical life.

There are two different types of actuating system, depending onapplication. For standard applications, the plunger is fitted witha telescopic device.

Ball plunger K(not in conjunction with safety switching elements)Hardened ball.Can be actuated from various directions.Operating point accuracy up to ± 0.01 mm.Max. approach speed of 10 m/min.

Dome plunger W(instead of ball plungers in safety switching elements)Hardened and polish-ground.Can be actuated from various directions.Operating pointaccuracy up to ± 0.002 mm.Max. approach speed of 10 m/min.

Plunger systems

With this system the plunger can be depressed to the referencesurface without damaging the switching element.Precision multiple limit switches with safety switching elementshave a „rigid“ plunger instead of a plunger with telescopic action;the rigid plunger provides a positively driven NC contact inaccordance with EN 60947. This means that the contact pointwill be reliably opened in the event of mechanical failure of theswitching element - e.g. owing to the failure of a contact springor contact weld resulting from an overload.

Plunger travel

The graphic shows the various positions of the plunger whenactuated by a trip dog.The precise values for the relevant design are shown in thetechnical data.

Travel ratio for plunger/trip dog

All the plunger travel data shown in the technical data refers toaxial actuation. When using our trip dogs in accordance withDIN 69639, this travel is doubled at the trip rail.

Switching elements

General Information

Different switching elements are available for various applications. Along with the standard switching elements with snap-action function,switching elements with positively driven NC contacts can be used for safety functions.

1) A snap-action contact element has a contact element which opens or closes regardless of its actuation speed.

Precision Multiple Limit Switches

Approach speed and performance with roller plungers

Using high quality ball bearings and technology matched to the application, approach speeds up to 120 m/min and very highperformance can be realized at the same time.

Low temperature

The selection of specially tested materials permits operation at ambient temperatures down to -30 °C.

Interchangeable plunger guideExterior diaphragm

Resinous lubricating coolants and the processing of abrasive materials can result in failure of the plunger function in particularlydifficult conditions. Proven series, shown on pages 20 to 23, minimizes downtimes and reduces repair costs.

Mixed contact assembly (only in multiple limit switches with 12 and 16 mm plunger spacing)

For specific functions on machines and systems, e.g. end of travel limit switching, EMERGENCY STOP or similar, it is necessary thatone or more stations on multiple limit switches are equipped with safety switching elements. See the ordering example below forinformation on the specification of such multiple limit switches.

The following requirements are to be observed:

� On upright multiple limit switches (e.g. RGBF...) it is necessary to start with the safety station/s on the flange side.

� On horizontal multiple limit switches (e.g. RGBF...) it is necessary to start with the safety station/s on the left side (view on theplunger side).

� If several safety stations are to be fitted, these must be fitted directly one after the other.

� The remaining stations are equipped with standard switching elements ES 502 E.

Customized versions

Number of safety stationsSafety switching element ES 508

Ordering example: Multiple limit switch series RGBF, 8 roller plunger, plunger spacing 12 mm,stations 1 to 3 with safety switching elements ES 508,remaining stations with standard switching elements ES 502 E

If a multiple limit switch of mixed assembly cannot be specified with this ordering code, we would ask you to state your order in plainEnglish.

Multiple limit switches with 12 mm plunger spacing can be assembled on request with a mixture of mechanical and inductiveswitching elements.

Inductive multiple limit switches with long me-chanical life

EUCHNER offers inductive multiple limit switches as an alter-native to precision multiple limit switches. There are five diffe-rent designs available for various areas of application with 8, 12or 16 mm proximity switch spacing respectively. The dimensionsof these versions are such that they can be interchanged withprecision multiple limit switches.

The crucial advantages

� Very long mechanical life� High switching frequency� Contact-less, non-reactive switching� Safe switching under extreme conditions� Resistant to strong vibrations, heavy dirt and aggressive

fluids

Trip rails / trip dogs

U-trip railsenable the adjustment of the trip dogs from the switch side. Thetrip dogs can be installed and adjusted quickly and easily in anylocation.

U-trip dogsare designed for use in U-trip rails. They have an expansion plateclamp and enable precise adjustment, even when the limit switchis activated.

G-trip railsenable the adjustment of trip dogs from the side opposite theswitch. They are made of steel and are protected from corrosionby a special surface treatment. Trip rails can be ordered pre-assembled or as a component for self-assembly.

G-trip dogsare designed for use in G-trip rails. The trip dogs are clamped inthe trip rail by a hexagon socket screw with spring washer. Thiswasher locks the trip dog in place even when the trip rail is in avertical position and allows precise adjustment.
