BZ | BA | BM | BE | 6AS Series-Premium Large Basic Switches

Honeywell BZ | BA | BM | BE | 6AS Series switches are accurate, reliable and repeatable that precise operating characteristics and enhanced life. These are often used for precision on/off applications, as well as end of limit, presence/absence, and manual operator interface functions.

VARIENTS FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS
With an IP64 sealing option to maintain switch enclosure sealing, many listings can be used in dirty, harsh  environments with their dustproof and splash resistant seals. Many versions operate in extreme temperatures, up to 121 °C [250 °F], and several with high temperature options for up to 204 °C [400 °F], as well as temperatures as low as -55 °C [-67 °F]

EASY INSTALLATION REDUCES OVERALL COSTS The switch’s enlongated mounting hole allows for easier, more accurate mounting

Tight hysteresis/differential travel Designed with a hysteresis as small as 0,008 mm [0.0003 in], the BZ/BA/BM/ BE switches may be used in applications where very tight and sensitive control is required between the operate and release points

Current capacity from less than 1 A to 25 A With a broad current capacity, one switch package can control a wide range of electrical loads. As requirements vary for applications, a standardized switch package may help reduce costs and increase application flexibility. Gold contacts available for controlling low energy/low power circuits

Enhanced performance Internal flat spring design delivers optimum performance and switch reliability

MILITARY APPROVALS MIL-PRF-8805 switches available for military-specified applications

BUILDING controls AND EQUIPMENT  Often used in a building’s boiler/heater controls, in HVAC systems to sense exhaust pressure on high efficiency furnances, and in fire suppression systems to sound alarm when sprinkler activation/waterflow is detected. May also be used in machine tools to limit the maxiumum movement for pieces of equipment

DOORS AND LIFTS May be used in elevators and lifts to sense if the car is in position before the door opens and on door-latching mechanisms to indicate door closed and/or door locked

Semi-trucks and trailers Can be used to disengage the cruise control when the clutch pedal is depressed  and for diesel engine brake assist. For surface transportation equipment, can be used as a seat switch

VALVES: Detects whether a valve is “open” or “closed”

TIMING DEVICES; Often used in commercial/industrial-grade timers to turn outputs “on” and/or “off” at preset times

COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS: May be used as a door interlock on communication consoles or enclosures

FOOT SWITCHES: In commerical and industrial foot switch enclosures, may be used as the switching element

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL KITCHEN EQUIPMENT: May be used to indicate door closed and/or door locked for the self-cleaning feature

IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT: Often used for limiting maximum offset of irrigation towers
