74 Series - Overview
Explosion Proof & Intrinsically Safe Proximity/Limit Switches
The 74 Series Proximity Switch (UNF threads) represents unmatched reliability and durability in industrial settings. Due to its robust construction without external moving parts, the 74 Series is a leverless limit switch that does not need springs or cams to wear out. As a result of its ability to sense ferrous materials up to 2.5mm away, this series can be used for a wide variety of applications.
Featuring SPDT form C contacts and a compact, one-piece 316 stainless steel housing, the switches operate within a temperature range of -50° to 105°C (-58° to 221°F) and are ideal for use in hazardous areas of Zone 0 or 1. The design includes standard 5/8″ – 18 or M18 mounting threads for versatile installation options.
The 74 Series is covered by the following hazardous area certifications.
Explosion Proof: | Zone 1, IECEx & ATEX Exd (Zone 1 & Zone 21), UL/CSA (Class I, Div 1) |
Intrinsically Safe: | Zone 0, IECEx & ATEX Exia (Zone 0 & Zone 20), UL/CSA (Zone 0) |
Other Regional Approvals Include: | INMETRO, CCCex & CCOE/PESO |
Designed for safety functions up to SIL2 or SIL3, ensuring safety and compliance in critical applications.
This switch is particularly effective in environments requiring high reliability and precision without the risk of mechanical failure.
