SY - SW limit switch box series

Heavy-duty limit switch boxes, designed for hazardous

areas, provide a visual and electrical remote position
feedback on automated valves.
Available in either copper free aluminum or 316
stainless steel, the explosionproof enclosure matches
Exd IIC T6 standards. The SY - SW limit switch box
series, thanks to its large inner volume, is able to host
up to 6 switches and spare pass through terminals.
The availability of four cable entries, either metric
or imperial, provide a highly customizable solution
meeting a wide range of applications. These include,
but are not limited to, oil and gas (both on-shore and
off-shore) and petrochemical industries.

Features
• Twin shaft design, ensuring a complete sealed device: the
shaft is split into two parts, each fitted and sealed into the
body and cover for the best weather insulation even during
opening operation
• Suitable for arctic application, down to -60 °C
• Enhanced flexibility of electrical feedback options
• Up to four cable entries available in different sizes
• Enhanced corrosion resistance thanks to copper free
aluminum body and cover with polyester powder coating
• 316 stainless steel housing for extremely hostile and
corrosive environments
• Easy wiring through the terminal PCB board
• NOVA V3™ switch option ensures extreme durability and
high power switching capabilities
• 4-20 mA position transmitter options
• Single tool opening design, allowing the operator to
unscrew the lid by hand after removing the lock
• Partial stroke test device option
