RS PRO Air Operated Switches, 1 Pole Elements, Surface Mount/Through Panel

Introducing the series of excellent quality Air Switches from RS PRO. Air switches are a type of push button switch that uses air pressure instead of electricity to activate the device it is connected to. This series of single-pole momentary or latching air-operated switches are suitable for use with all air actuators and accessories.

Air Switches are available in two mounting options:

• Surface mounting with side connection of the air tube: 319-714 & 319-708
• Through panel fixing with the air tube connection via the base: 319-720 & 319-736

The Surface Mounting type is ideal where it is required to seal all electrical connections from the environment in an enclosure. Through panel, fixing is by means of a 9/16 UNF nut (supplied) or may be surface mounted using the additional 3.2mm dia fixing holes, suitable for M3 or No. 6 self-tapping screws. SPDT microswitch contacts are rated at 16A 250 Vac/30Vdc and connection is via 250 ( 1/4 in) terminals. Operating temperature range -10°C to +60°C (subject to tube length limitations - see additional data tables below)

Actuators, Switch Elements, Tubing & Accessories

The air operated switch system offers enhanced safety in hazardous areas by allowing remote operation of electrical circuits.
The actuator is a bellows which, when compressed moves air down the air tubing to the switch element. This compressed air then expands a bellows in the switch, which operates the electrical contacts.
When used in wet environments or where electrical switching would be dangerous due to arcing, the switch and all electrical wiring can be located outside the hazardous area giving the operator total electrical isolation for the equipment.
Such applications include: Battery charging rooms, laboratories, garages, or wherever explosive gases, vapours or powders may exist.

When assembled the air switch and actuator form a sealed system, therefore temperature variation will cause pressure changes, which can in extreme cases affect the performance of the switch. To prevent this the total volume of the system must be kept below a critical value for a given temperature range and, to this end, a maximum length of air tubing (and hence volume) can be given for any combination of switch and actuator.
The additional data tables give these lengths in metres; for moderate and extreme temperatures.
