D4CC
Safety Precautions
Refer to Safety Precautions for All Limit Switches.
Operating Environment
Seal material may deteriorate if a Switch is used outdoor or where subject to special
cutting oils, solvents, or chemicals. Always appraise performance under actual
application conditions and set suitable maintenance and replacement periods.
Install Switches where they will not be directly subject to cutting
chips, dust, or dirt. The Actuator and Switch must also be protected
from the accumulation of cutting chips or sludge.
Constantly subjecting a Switch to vibration or shock can result in
wear, which can lead to contact interference with contacts,
operation failure, reduced durability, and other problems.
Excessive vibration or shock can lead to false contact operation or
damage. Install Switches in locations not subject to shock and
vibration and in orientations that will not produce resonance.
The Switches have physical contacts. Using them in environments
containing silicon gas will result in the formation of silicon oxide
(SiO2) due to arc energy. If silicon oxide accumulates on the
contacts, contact interference can occur. If silicon oil, silicon filling
agents, silicon cables, or other silicon products are present near the
Switch, suppress arcing with contact protective circuits (surge
killers) or remove the source of silicon gas.
Mounting
Make sure that the plate to which the
D4CC is mounted is flat. If the plate is
warped or has protruding parts, the
D4CC may not malfunction.
A maximum of 6 Switches may be
group-mounted. In this case, pay attention to the mounting direction so that
the convex part of the group-mounting guide on one Switch fits into the
concave part of the guide on the other Switch as shown in the figure below.
For group mounting, the mounting panel must have a thickness (t) of 6 mm
min.
Be sure to tighten each screw to the proper tightening torque as shown in the table.
* By removing the two screws from the head, the head
direction can be rotated 180
°. After changing the head
direction, re-tighten to the torque specified above. Be
careful not to allow any foreign substance to enter the
Switch.
Operation
Operation method, shapes of cam and dog, operating frequency,
and overtravel have a significant effect on the service life and
precision of a Limit Switch. For this reason, the dog angle must be
30
° max., the surface roughness of the dog must be 6.3S min. and
hardness must be Hv400 to 500.
To allow the plunger-type actuator to travel properly, adjust the dog
and cam to the proper setting positions. The proper position is
where the plunger groove fits the bushing top.
To allow the roller lever-type actuator to
travel properly, adjust the dog and cam so
that the arrow head is positioned between
the two convex markers as shown below.
Properly adjust the stroke of the center
roller lever along with the dog or cam so
that the concave part (A) of the head is
located between the convex parts of the
head as shown below when the center
roller lever is pressed by the dog or cam.
Refer to the following to adjust the stroke of
the lever based on the mounting hole level.
