14CE16-1, Honeywell 14CE Series Plunger Limit Switch, NO/NC, IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68, SP, 240V ac Max, 5A Max

14CE Series Miniature Limit Switches

The 14CE series of limit switches from Honeywell form part of their miniature limit switches range. This series is compact, precise and highly versatile. They have been designed for use in a wide range of environments. A choice of actuator ensures that you will be able to find the right limit switch to meet your application.

Features:

• 14CE limit switches have gang mounting capability.
• A range of different cable lengths are available.
• These limit switches feature a wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C.
• Excellent mechanical life up to 10 million operations for standard plungers and actuators. Wobble stick or cat whisker actuators have a life span of 5 million operations.

Benefits:

• 14CE limit switches are ideal for applications with limited space. They have a compact design and feature 25 mm mounting centres. The mounting holes for screwing the limit switch into place are counter-bored. This means that the screw heads fit within the housing of the unit, and no additional real estate is required when mounting the switch.
• Installation of 14CE limit switches is quick and easy. Each unit only requires two M5 screws for mounting. Pre-leaded cables and M12 connectors also help to minimise installation time.
• This series offers a great deal of design flexibility. You can choose the most appropriate cable length and whether the cable or connector exits the unit at the side or bottom. These switches are supplied with an M12 four-pin connector or are pre-leaded with Cenelec cable.
• Utilising the gang mounting capability, you can build your own multiple plunger switch using models with a pin plunger or roller plunger.
• 14CE limit switches are constructed with diecast zinc housing. Each unit within the 14CE series incorporates a fluorocarbon sealing diaphragm that offers protection and enhances reliability. An epoxy sealant has also been used to encapsulate the cable, connector and switch. The factory sealing and sealant protects the integrity of the limit switch and you can trust this limit switch to perform consistently and accurately within the most rugged environments. They will function as expected in environments where petrol, water based or synthetic fluids are present.

Applications:

14CE limit switches are incredibly versatile and can be used in extreme temperature and harsh environments. Example product applications include:

Machine tools: You can use 14CE limit switches to detect tools, or the location of pieces or parts on a CNC tool.

Off-road equipment: 14CE models can be used in crane booms (crane jibs) as a cab door switch.

Material handling: 14CE limit switches can be utilised in vehicle wash systems and forklift trucks. They are ideal for use within dock locks for trucks and trailers.

Textile and print trade machinery: Applications include tensioning, sensing of roll sizes, controlling panels and gates.

Access and mobility solutions: Stairway and vehicle wheelchair lifts use 14CE switches, to monitor movement.

Robotics: This series of limit switch can control the limits of robotic arm movements.

Packaging equipment: Applications include tensioning and roll size sensing. 14CE limit switches can be used on stretch pallet wrapping equipment.

Agricultural machinery: Example applications include grain and livestock equipment.

Standards

IP Rating:
All models within the 14CE series meet IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68. This ensures that they are completely dust tight, offer protection against jets of water and can be immersed in water up to 3 m.

NEMA Rating:
Every 14CE limit switch also meets NEMA, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P and 13 requirements.

Type 2: Allows for indoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures provide a degree of protection against foreign objects (such as falling dirt) and the ingress of water (light dripping or splashing).
Type 3: Allows for indoor or outdoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures provide some protection from foreign objects (such as windblown dust) and the ingress of water (such as rain or snow). Enclosures that meet NEMA 3 offer protection against ice forming externally.
Type 3R: Allows for indoor or outdoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures primarily provide ingress protection against water (such as rain, snow or sleet). Enclosures that meet NEMA 3 offer protection against ice forming externally.
Type 4: Allows for indoor or outdoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures provide some protection from foreign objects (such as falling dirt and windblown dust) and the ingress of water (such as rain, snow or sleet alongside splashing water and hose directed water). Enclosures that meet NEMA 3 offer protection against ice forming externally.
Type 6: Allows for indoor or outdoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures provide some protection from foreign objects (such as falling dirt and windblown dust) and the ingress of water (such as rain, snow or sleet alongside splashing water and hose directed water). Enclosures that meet NEMA 4 offer protection against ice forming externally.
Type 6P: Allows for indoor or outdoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures provide some protection from solid objects (such as falling dirt and windblown dust) and the ingress of water (such as hose directed water). Enclosures that meet the NEMA 6P requirement also offer protection against water when being submerged at a limited depth.
Type 13: Enclosures that meet Type 13 are suited to harsh environments. Enclosures can be used indoors and provide protection against access to hazardous parts. They offer protection against solid objects such as falling dirt, windblown dirt, fibres and lint. They provide a level of protection from dripping and splashing water and other liquids such as the splashing, seepage and spraying of oil and non-corrosive coolants.

Warning

14CE limit switches are not emergency stop devices or safety devices. They must not be used in devices, applications and environments where injury can incur as a result of product failure.

Honeywell Plunger Limit Switch, NO/NC, 240V - 14CE Series - 14CE16-1

Honeywell's compact limit switch from the 14CE series is just 49mm long, making it ideal for use in installations where size is a key consideration. It features a plunger-type actuator that's easily operated via snap action to activate a change in position. The plunger has a mechanical life of up to 10 million operations, so you can be sure of a long service life. You can mount the switch using the holes provided, without the need for specialist tools.

Features and Benefits

• Ingress protection ratings of IP65 and IP67 mean the component can handle brief submersion in water
• Epoxy sealed casing safely houses the cable, switch and connector, so it's protected from chemicals and liquids
• Silver contact relay boosts conductivity, leading to optimal performance

Application Information

• Robotics
• Dispensing machines
• Farming equipment
• Lifting machines
