The Telemecanique XC2-JC is a robust and versatile industrial limit switch body designed for precise position detection and control in demanding environments. Known for its reliability, safety certifications, and modular design, it is a cornerstone of industrial automation systems. The code XC2JC337-1 specifies a specific configuration with a rotary lever actuator.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
High Mechanical Durability:Â Built with a strong metal housing and designed for millions of operational cycles, ensuring long-term reliability even in harsh conditions.
-
Safety Certified: Features the VDE 660 certification, indicating it meets stringent German safety standards for electrical and mechanical components. The NFC mark confirms compliance with relevant French and European norms.
-
Modular & Flexible:Â The XC2-J is a modular system. This “body only” (XC2-JC) design allows you to choose from a wide range of separate actuator heads and bases to perfectly match your application needs (e.g., roller levers, plungers, adjustable levers).
-
Positive Break (Snap-Action) Contact Mechanism:Â Provides quick and reliable switching, minimizing arcing and ensuring a clear on/off signal. This is crucial for safety and precision control applications.
-
Clear Status Indication:Â Equipped with a visual position indicator to show the contact status (NO/NC) at a glance, simplifying installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
-
Sealed Construction:Â Offers a high degree of protection (typically IP65) against dust and water jets, making it suitable for use in washdown and dusty industrial environments.
