Description
Product Name: 801-ASC21 Allen Bradley Programmable controller
Product details:
The 801-ASC21 is part of the Allen-Bradley series of general-purpose limit switches. These devices are used in industrial control systems to sense the presence or absence of an object, or to monitor the movement of a machine part.
Key Features:
- Housing Style: NEMA 2 (General Purpose)
- Actuator Type: Roller Lever
- Contact Configuration: Typically listed as 1 Normally Open (NO) and 3 Normally Closed (NC), often denoted as 1NO & 3NC. (Note: The search result indicates this configuration, which is the electrical output of the switch when operated).
- Operation: Snap Action, Spring Return
- Enclosure: NEMA 1 (Often listed as a feature, though the primary housing style is NEMA 2, which provides basic protection.)
Product Parameters (Specifications)
| Parameter | Value/Description |
| Series | 801 (General Purpose Limit Switches) |
| Actuator | Roller Lever |
| Contact Configuration | 1 Normally Open (NO) & 3 Normally Closed (NC) |
| Operating Force | Approximately 22.25N (5.0 lbs) (This is the force required to operate the switch) |
| Operation | Snap Action Spring Return |
| Enclosure Rating | NEMA 1 (or relevant IP/NEMA rating for the NEMA 2 housing style, often used indoors for basic protection) |
| Voltage/Current Rating | Specific electrical ratings (e.g., maximum AC/DC voltage and current) are crucial but require consulting the full datasheet. |
Product Advantages
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of industrial sensing applications due to its general-purpose design.
- Reliable Sensing: Utilizes a Snap Action mechanism, which provides quick and decisive switching, reducing contact arcing and extending electrical life.
- Durable Actuator: The Roller Lever is robust and suitable for applications involving moving parts that need to operate the switch.
- Spring Return: Ensures the switch automatically returns to its initial state when the actuating force is removed.
- Established Design: Being an Allen-Bradley product, it is manufactured to high industrial quality standards, ensuring long-term reliability and compatibility within existing control systems.
Precautions (Important Considerations)
- Electrical Rating: Always ensure the operating voltage and current do not exceed the switch’s specified electrical ratings to prevent damage or failure.
- Environmental Protection: While the NEMA 1/NEMA 2 enclosure offers basic protection, it is generally not suitable for wash-down, outdoor use, or environments with excessive dust, oil, or corrosive materials. Use higher-rated enclosures (like NEMA 4, 4X, or IP67) for harsh conditions.
- Mounting and Adjustment: Mount the switch securely and ensure the roller lever actuator is properly aligned with the object or machine part to be detected to guarantee reliable operation and prevent mechanical wear.
- Wiring: Follow all local electrical codes and the manufacturer’s wiring diagrams. Ensure proper grounding.
Product Applications
The Allen-Bradley 801-ASC21 limit switch is commonly used in various industrial and manufacturing settings, including:
- Position Sensing: Detecting the end-of-travel limits for machine tools, conveyors, and linear actuators.
- Conveyor Systems: Monitoring the presence or position of packages, products, or trolleys on a conveyor belt.
- Safety Interlocks: Serving as a safety device to ensure machine guards or doors are closed before equipment can operate.
- Indexing and Counting: Used in simple mechanisms for counting cycles or controlling the steps of a process.
- Automated Machinery: Providing feedback on the status or position of mechanical components within automated assembly lines.
