Partly Order Discontinued as of August 31, 2012 COMPACT SIZE LIMIT SWITCHES ML (AZ7) Limit Switches Terminal mold types (epoxy-sealed terminal type) also available. FEATURES 1. Long life High efficiency coil spring switching mechanism for long life: More than 107 mechanical operations. 2. Great mechanical strength while being compact and lightweight The attachment pitch is 25.4mm (1.000inch), same as for the Z basic model microswitch. Also, the outer cover cap uses a strong plastic with excellent mechanical characteristics. An M4 bolt can be used for the attachment. 3. The overtravel (O.T.) is large with great shock absorption Standard type (Short roller lever) Compliance with RoHS Directive 4. The switch itself is constructed to be dust-proof and oil resistant The switch itself is closed flush with the diaphragm and the compressed rubber ring, so that the terminal mold type (epoxy-sealed terminal type) is perfectly flush with the terminal parts. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Used in sequence control of food processing machines, automatic packaging machines, conveyers, and processors. Ideal for light industry machinery when installation pace is limited and a protective construction is sought. PRODUCT TYPE 2. Terminal mold type (epoxy-sealed terminal type) 1.

The cord outlet is located either at the N.C. or COM side. The cord is 1 m 3.281ft. long. Epoxy resin filled up for reliable watertightness and heat resistance. 3-core vinyl cabtire cable Cord outlet direction: N.C.

Ambient conditions 1) When the switch is to be used in places where oil or is abundant, bore a drain hole in the bottom of the terminal cover. 2) Avoid places where highly acid or alkaline fluids are used or high temperatures prevail. 3) This model uses silver terminals. Therefore, if used at relatively low frequencies for long periods of time, or if used with very small loads, the oxidization that forms on the contact surfaces will not wear away and eventually cause improper contact. For such applications, use limit switches with gold/metal contacts (e.g. VL limit switches) or ones meant for small loads (e.g. HL limit switches). 4) This switch is not designed for underwater use. Do not use the unit underwater. 5) To improve reliability during actual use, it is recommended that the operation be checked under installation conditions. 6) If OT is too big, the life of limit switch will be shortened switching friction. Use it with enough margin of OT. 70% of OT standard value will be good for use. 7) Do not use the switch in a silicon atmosphere. Case should be taken where organic silicon rubber, adhesive, sealing material, oil, grease or lead wire generates silicon. 8) Avoid use in excessively dusty environments where actuator operation would be hindered. 9) When used outdoors (in places where there is exposure to direct sunlight or rain such as in multistory car parks) or in environments where ozone is generated, the influence of these environments may cause deterioration of the rubber material. Please consult us if you intend to use a switch in environments such as these. 10) Do not store in places where organic gas might be generated or in places of high dust content or high humidity. 2.Mounting and wiring 1) Remove the terminal cover with a v driver. Insert the lead wire through the knock-out of the terminal cover. (The terminal cover of the epoxy-sealed terminal type is filled with resin. It cannot be removed.) Standard type 2) Connect the lead wire to the terminal. When connecting the terminals with the fasten lug, those with the insulation sleeve are recommended. Tightening torque: 1.18 to 1.47 N*m {12 to 15 kg*cm} 3) The terminal cover can be mounted in both directions. * In this case, fasten the terminal cover in the opposite direction. N.C. COM * Side mounting To mount onto a side, use M4 screws with washers and secure it firmly. The tightening torque should be 1.18 to 1.47 N*m (12 to 15 kg*cm). * Panel mounting (panel mount plunger type) When installing the panel mounting type onto a panel, the tightening torque for the hex. nut should be 7.84 N*m (80 kg*cm). * For terminal mold types (epoxy-sealed terminal types), there are two types by the cord outlet direction; N.C. side and COM side. 3. Flexible rod 1) Put the detective object to the tip of plastic part. 2) Avoid pushing the tip of actuating spring in the direction of axis. In the places of oil or water splashes and much dust area, use the limit switch with keeping the actuating spring in the vertical direction.
