April 13, 2010 - Eaton announced LS-Titan safety-rated limit switches, which are engineered to limit the potential for tampering with equipment safeguards. More than 100 switch models are offered in the LS-Titan family, providing a solution to a wide range of packaging, material handling and OEM applications. The LS-Titan family includes safety limit switches and safety interlock switches. The entire line features positive opening contacts per International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and European Standard (EN) 60947-5-1.Designed for application flexibility, safety limit switches are the core of the LS-Titan family.
These miniature-DIN (IEC type) switches are modular, with a wide selection of interchangeable heads that can be rotated in four different directions. Switches are available as complete (composite) units or as separate (modular) components. Depending on application requirements, LS-Titan switches can be ordered in insulated plastic or metal enclosures.In addition to a large selection of safety limit switches, the LS-Titan family includes the first electronic safety position switch. With solid-state outputs, the innovative electronic safety position switch (LSE model) is available in two variants:
- An analog output model with a 4 to 20 milliamperes (mA) or 0 to 10 volt (V) signal
- A trip-point selectable model, easily adjusted with a screwdriver
LSE models are TÜV-Rheinland Functional-Safety certified and include built-in safety features.
