Product description

The Allen Bradley 802T-W3F features a 'cat whiskers' or flexible rod actuator, making it suitable for detecting objects that may approach the switch from various angles or with slight variations in position. This standard duty limit switch boasts a rugged die-cast zinc housing, a 10A at 300V rating, and adheres to NEMA 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 13 enclosure specifications.

This type of limit switch is often deployed in bulk material handling, baggage conveyor systems, or where gentle actuation is needed to detect the presence of light or irregularly shaped objects. Its flexibility allows for a broader detection range compared to rigid actuators, making it versatile in industries like agriculture, mining, and logistics.
