REES 04944-640 Cable Operated Switch, Yellow

Rees 04944-640 cable operated switch is a mechanical device ideal for making or breaking electrical connections from a semi-remote location by pulling or pushing a connected cable rope. This switch is particularly suitable for emergency stop and ordinary circuit control applications. During conveyor operations, it can provide constant control & access for emergency or normal stopping.

Working Mechanism:

• The cable, attached to the lever or operating ring of the switch, is installed with multiple supports in close proximity to the individuals who require control of the circuit.
• The pulling of the cable anywhere along its entire length will actuate the switch and either turn on or off the circuit it is wired into.
• One switch and cable can cover a distance of up to two hundred feet, which is useful when trying to guard conveyors.

Features:

• Rees 04944-640 cable operated switch is a slack cable style switch with gold plated 2 NO & 2 NC contacts.
• The equipped flag can manually reset the positive break contacts by returning the flag to its normal position.
• The switch's captive terminals can accept two #14 AWG stranded wires.
• It has two 3/4 inch NPT conduit openings to handle a maximum recommended cable length of 200 feet with 10 feet of maximum interval support.
• It comes supplied with a santoprene gasket for an oil-tight seal upon installation.
• The robust design and long-term dependability of this cable pull switch make it suitable for use in various settings like temperatures up to 131 degrees Fahrenheit.

Compatible Accessories:

• Rees 02005-605 Turnbuckle: It is used to change the tension between two cables or ropes by rotating the frame, causing both eye bolts to screw in or out at the same time.
• Rees 02005-610 Steel Cable: It is used to set or reset the switch.
• Rees 02005-615 Thimble: This strain relief thimble is used for transition from a flexible cable to a hard connector or connecting point and assures reduction in breakage at the end.
• Rees 02005-620 Rope Clip: It is to create a load-bearing eye at the end of a cable / wire rope or to make a lap splice between two cables.
• Rees 02005-840 Cable Assembly: It is used to organise cables in a package that is simpler to install, change and maintain, providing the power of several separate cables.
• Rees 02005-625 Cable Clip Assembly: It is used to handle any size of a cable clip.
• Rees 02005-630 Tension Spring: It is a twisted helical coil that is firmly wrapped together to produce tension. Also known as an extension spring, it delivers increased force as the spring is stretched beyond its initial length.
• Rees 02005-630 Eye Bolt Assembly: It serves as a point of connection for rigging, anchoring, pulling, pushing or lifting applications. This unit features steel construction with zinc finish for durability.
• Rees 40100-002 Pivot Light: It is used to direct light where it is required.
