Overview
The Allen-Bradley 802T-AP oiltight limit switch combines proven heavy-duty design with a compact plug-in form factor for industrial motion control applications. NEMA Type 4 and 13 oiltight construction protects against water, oil, dust, and other contaminants, making it ideal for food processing, packaging, material handling, and transportation equipment. The 2-circuit configuration supports both clockwise and counterclockwise operation with a 90-degree maximum travel angle.
Key Features
- Plug-in design: Head and switch body can be replaced without rewiring the base, reducing commissioning and maintenance downtime
- 2-circuit operation: 1 normally open (NO) and 1 normally closed (NC) contact configuration
- Snap-acting contacts: Provides quick, decisive make/break action for reliable pilot-duty switching
- Rotary lever arm actuator: Spring return mechanism with standard operating torque; configurable for CW/CCW operation
- NEMA 6P / IP67 sealing: Protects against jets of water and fine dust ingress
- Metal enclosure: Rugged construction withstands harsh industrial environments
